Additional Components in ES Main Enclosure

In Simple Terms

This rule allows teams to install additional electrical equipment inside the main energy storage box beyond what's already required. Specifically, teams can add a low voltage power distribution board to manage electrical systems, as well as electric pump drivers and cooling systems for the hybrid power unit that aren't mounted on the engine itself.

• Teams can install a Low Voltage Power Distribution Board (PDB) in the ES Main Enclosure to manage electrical distribution
• Electric pump driver units for the hybrid system are permitted inside the main enclosure
• Non-engine-mounted ERS cooling systems can be housed within the energy storage enclosure
• These are optional additions beyond the mandatory components listed in Article C5.19.7
