[ausev] Wire and fuse recommendations

[Roy Hughes]

I have the motor installed and I amd putting together my wiring schematic/picture in my head.
let me list what I have so far.
 
I am using 2/0 cable for the bateries
I have the main contactor
i have the shunt for the ammeter and i have the voltmeter.
 
i am PLANNING to get the circuit breaker soon, i need help with the low voltage side of this build though.
 
i need to know what gauge wire to use between all the low voltage components and what size fuses would be appropriate for the high voltage side.
by the way the motor is the adc 4001 , the controller is a logisystems rated up to 550a and the battery pack will be 144v made of 18 8v batteries.
 
the vehicle will use a 12v accessory battery, no dc-dc converter
 
thanks for your help all
 
p.s. does anyone have some contacts for batteries?
i have priced them up here in DFW
 
interstate is charging $152 per us8vgc
 
continental is charging $144 per T-875 
 
discounts were mentioned for orders over 50!!
 
is this about the norm?
