Greetings experts
I have a machine build where an external power source, a 0-60VDC Power Supply, 48V battery, or 12V battery can be plugged into the machine. In reality, pretty much any DC power source <= 60VDC @ <=100A could be plugged into the machine panel. My understanding is that I need yellow wire for the 'hot' wire, correct? What about the 0V, what color should that be?
Coming off this external power source, I will have a reversing relay in the machine that can reverse the polarity on the output side of the relay. What color should those wires be, as either one can be 'hot' depending on the state of the relay. Is it as simple as making both wires on the output of the relay yellow in color?
The #1 pin on the receptacle is the 'hot' of the DC source. What color should the wire/s coming off the #2 pin (0V) be?
EDIT: The disconnect switch (9.S1) is not the 'main' disconnect for the machine. It is a separate disconnect for the external power source.
Wire #60.2 (and 61.2) to the solid state reversing contactor (13.REVSSR). What color wires should be on the output side of the reversing contactor? Should all these be yellow in color knowing that depending on the state of the relay (FWD or REV), either 60.2A or 61.2A could be 'hot'. 13.CON is a receptacle to deliver the DC power out of the panel.
Thank you!
