Our opinion on this was and is that while the Sierra06-0982Y3 is listed on the site as being 150-300, it is capable of working from 130-400 in their docs. We recommend it for applications starting at 144 V because people who are making the investment in the parts for a higher voltage vehicle are likely to try and add additional battery capacity in the future. While it may be a bit less efficient in the short run, the unit gives people plenty of overhead to reconfigure their traction pack in the future.<div>

</div>The Masterflux pages have quite a bit of info including diagrams of<br>
the sizes of the parts. It's not very big, in fact it's about the<br>
size of my original compressor with an extra square box for the<br>
electronics. It weighs 15 pounds so the Masterflux page says.<br>
<br>
As for which one I have... I have the SIERRA06-0982Y3, which is the<br>
150VDC to 300VDC version with the high power compressor. In hindsight<br>
the SIERRA05-0982Y3 would have been more appropriate. It's the 100VDC<br>
to 150VDC version with the high power compressor. It would have been<br>
more tuned to my 144VDC pack and would have allowed me to take full<br>
advantage of the compressor's cooling capacity. As is, my compressor<br>
is only at about 2/3rd of it's wattage rating... but it cools at least<br>
as well as the stock air conditioner... so it is not a problem worth<br>
my time or money to fix.<br>
