Speaking of soldering… scale of 1-10, how important is it to solder Anderson powerpole 45A connectors for 30A loads? Beyond the standard crimp
I would say always Sauter especially with PP 45
Iiiii should probably figure out how to yoink the connector outta the spring clip then :facepalm:
I’ve only got two sets of connections but it’s the transition point between battery/controller and I’ve got lights spliced in there
a good crimp is always nice
I don’t exactly have the Andersen crimp tool but… I did get a tight crimp I think
The as150s look good too but they don't link together
I've put a little over 800miles on these so far, I'm looking for something with more grip anyway:D
30a continuous per pole
I blame your soldering
Dosnt look like it weted enough
Plenty of tread on those, They’re just dusty right? Maybe throw some tubeless sealant in the tubes like orangeseals or stans
Yeah, I have a ways to go before I replace the tires. I'm considering tubeless sealant, popped my tire 3 times a few weeks ago lol. All very small punchures like the picture
Yeah just grab some sealant. You’ll lose a bit of pressure when something pokes a hole, but generally it won’t be ride stopping loss of air pressure
Yea the wire is needed to heatsink the contact lol
Gah
Two phases melted and one uncrimped itself
fuck sake
I'm going to splice them together now
Just get one of these. /s
Lmao how are you melting phase wires
Are you using Anderson's or something
PP30
probably fake ones at that
heh
and yeah not the wire but the connector
What size wire going to your connector?
no idea
looks like 14 or 12
yeaaa... they are only rated 30A and that is only when used with 10ga lol
You have to derate connectors with smaller wire, because A: the wire will be heating up the connector, and B: the connector generally is the hot point, so it depends on the wire to heatsink it.. that doesn't work very well when the wire is undersized and already smoking hot.
I solder mine to the wire
Plus 30A controllers will smoke even genuine 45A rated powerpoles on the phase wires from time to time sooo
Hu, TIL there are giant powerpoles: https://www.mouser.ca/new/anderson-power-products/anderson-pp75-powerpole-connectors/
rofl the contacts alone are $4.22 each in quantity 1
lol 120A with 6awg
Yeah even I know that’s a lie
You can do that with 120C rated wire
thats why im wondering if i shuld bother with mt60 or just go straight to xt150
35a controller
You see I thought about mt60 for my phase wires
Suggests its a 125C plastic used
As a mid motor user, I’m just letting the stock phase connections do their thing. But I’ve got PP30s with 12ga for my batt-controller
What middy?
CSA rated for 70A btw..
`Polycarbonate / PBT blend`
Uh BBSHD
*googles XT150*
MT60 *should* work..
I need to save some more gas money before doing any more mods…

I will never use bullet, I don’t care how great they are made
does it have the letter A printed on them?
My old wiring chart :0
where?
One of the better ones as it actualyl takes into account insulation type
swear you took that from me lol
i dont see an A moulded on this one no
@Akbar In 2012?
give me a moment let me find original source
Oh wait wire uses the needle approach to numbering @Black Moons
where did I get this pic from then lol
@Akbar From my webpage Iv posted here a few times?
Its even missing the background
I know I’m ducked when 30c is the ambient rating and I need to figure out how that translates to 40c ambient
ie, how it looks for people who don't have hte rest of my website
Almost as goog as your wiki
I think someone copied your webpage
:Kapp:
because I found this somewhere else
Oh yikes
@Akbar Doubtful, that website has been down for like 6+ years.
one of the powerpoles wa crimped partially on the insulation
*shrugs*
Maybe someone has posted it elsewhere, but I definately was the one who wrote that chart/heading/etc.
the info is from a website that also replaced it sometime in 2011 and I had to e-mail them to get a copy of the webpage lol
(though I reformatted the table, and I think added ohms per foot?)
I like how it's still lower current than some UK domestic wiring ratings
@Akbar that is really disturbing lol.
these are like the highest current ratings iv seen that sounded 'sane' and took into account insulation.
you factored insulation rating but what about if the cable is only single insulated and in free air horizontally with air blowing over it?
@Akbar thats actually a fucking thing you know.
yes ik it's in our tables
there are force air cooled wiring ducts and im like... WHY IS THIS A SPEC
I’m lost
Jeez. Reading your chart… I’m derating the best i can, dropping a temp level from 105 for pvc to 90, to try to account for 40c ambient. I think my bikes wired with 12ga from the battery… not Sure. But 14 ga is over my temp limits
Who the shitballs is hooking up fans to their wiring ducts and hoping that fan doesn't die and cause a house to burn down?
@Melez Yea, e-bikes commonly use 12ga for 30A, sometimes even up to 40A
https://tenor.com/view/thank-you-for-that-information-thank-you-info-information-getting-information-gif-15673762
also don't you know the armour on armoured cables acts as a heatsink? lol
Then there's me using funky 10.8awg
It does help that most wires on an e-bike are actively air cooled
(And the skinny ass wires outta your motor most likely have some fancy 125c~200c insulation on them)
.. making it extra fun to put them into a connector with 90c~125c rated plastic!
250c teflon on mine and the insulation is thin so makes the wire look thinner than it is
hahah
I'm using twincore
you got tardis wires? bigger on the inside?
For walls
What the fuck
