Pro Power Onboard Relay Location?

[bmwhitetx]

They must have changed it for the 25ym as both my inverters are under the bed.

Ah, you're right, I was thinking of the dual onboard chargers that 22-23 ER's have. Those are located under the frunk and bed. The ProPower inverters are where you show.

Edited my earlier post.

Actually, it's a CONVERTER, which takes the incoming 120v/240v AC power from the EVSE and 'converts' it into DC Power into the battery pack...

the motors also have integral INVERTERS, which take the battery pack's DC output and inverts it into AC Power, to drive the motors, and turn the wheels...

the INVERTERS we are speaking of on this thread are for the electrical OUTLETS around the truck, taking the battery pack's DC Power and inverting it into 120v/240v AC power...

the Primary INVERTER, for stock 2.4kw ProPower, is 120v output, and serves the Frunk outlets, CAB outlets, and, if you don't have the optional 9.6kw package, the two rear bed outlets... all from the same 120v 20amp Inverter. 20 amps x 120 volts = 2.4kw

the Optional INVERTER, for 9.6kw ProPower, is 240v output(whether a true 240v inverter, or a dual-120v combined inverter, doesn't matter - it's the same, regardless), and then serves the 30amp 240v bed outlet, and ALL 4 of the bed's 120v outlets, with 30amp output. 30 amps x 240v = 7.4kw

what's interesting is that testing shows that each of the two 120v bed outlet pairs are on opposing 'sides' of this 240v power, meaning that each set gets 30amps of 120v power. Yes, 30 amps. Now, you might say that is impossible, since these are just 'typical 120v outlets', yet testing has proven this out. It makes sense: Ford has a 30amp 240v Inverter output. Each of the two hot wire outputs, or 'side' of that power, is 120v, and each on the inverter's 30amp fuse/breaker.

but, don't fret, as you're not going to find any device, appliance, or high-amperage tool that is going to have this type of 2 or 3-prong male plug, anyway. But, you CAN try it out if you use several 1500w electric heaters, all on HIGH at the same time.

If you want, you can use a special 'Y' Adapter, too, used for RVs, to plug into each of the pair of 120v outlets to receive 240v power. I've done it. And, pulled 30amps of 240v power, too, from these 'regular looking' outlets.

While some of this stuff is more than most owners will ever care about, it's interesting when you are using the truck for more than 'typical' duties... and, it's great to have those options.
