Where to Find Inverter, BMS and BCDC in Each Vehicle

In each battery-powered Orange Sky vehicle, there should be a rechargeable battery bank, two battery chargers (called the Battery Management System (BMS) and the smaller DC Battery Charge (BCDC)), and an inverter which supplies power to the 230V electrical loads.

The following guide will show you where all of these components are located in a Hybrid, Shower, Laundry and Remote van. 

Laundry Van

The laundry van electronics should all mounted to an aluminum board (seen below). This board will be mounted in the laundry van on the wall behind the driver's seat.

4. Battery Management System (BMS)

5. 230V Changeover Box with Safety Switches (will have a protective cover). See also second picture.
