Customer Challenge
To design a Junction Box for generation 1.1 which can be utilised for both roof and underfloor mounted projects. As a result, our teams had to come up with a solution that worked flexibly in a limited space as part of retrofit projects.
The design had to be singular and applicable in a variety of situations – ensuring that both on the roof and underfloor it would still work with multiple traction battery unit (TBU) combinations.
Scope
- To design a junction box for generation 1.1 as a combined solution for both roof and under floor mounting locations
- Design a mounting bracket between Junction box and the TBUs
- Starting from critical design review to detailed design review, design a platform prototype solution for four TBUs
- Release of all required documents in product data management
Solution
- Our teams investigated different space locations available for the best junction box placement
- Team studied the maintainability of the product for both roof and under floor situations
- Our team developed different design proposals for both roof and under floor mounting individually
- With these steps in place, our team designed a platform prototype solution of junction box for four TBUs
Features
- Our proposed designs were in accordance with the high standards and requirements which our client upheld
- Prototype design for four TBUs is highly compatible which can be considered for future projects
Benefits
- The platform junction box solution can be used in other projects
- The solution offered is flexible – it can be used in future roof and under-floor mounted projects
