2. Installing a PDP
2.1. Battery harness
●Components
○QTY 2 - M6x1 Bolts (10mm Length) Socket Head Cap Screws
○QTY 2 - 6mm Split (Lock) Washers
○Battery Cover
■QTY 2 - 6-32 (1/2” Length) Battery Cover Flat-Head Socket Cap Screw
○12 Volt Supply (Battery, Power Supply, etc...)
Warning:Do not reverse the battery voltage as this can cause permanent damage to
current sense circuitry. Additionally the FRC Control System Components that
draw power from PDP may not have reverse battery protection, and can also be
damaged in a reverse battery event.

2.1.1. Split Washer
Warning:Care should be taken to ensure the split washers are installed under the
screw head. If this is not done, the robot could exhibit several forms of power/brownout
issues as the cable harness loosens over time.

2.2. Breakers
2.2.1. Snap Action 40 Amp Breaker
●Channels 0-3, Channels 12-15
○40 Amp Breaker
○Limits Closest Red WAGO
○Supplies Battery Power
Warning: Inductive loads (motor, compressor) must have a power management device
(motor controller, PCM, spike) between itself and the PDP. No inductive loads (motor,
compressor) may be directly connected to the PDP channels as this can damage current
sense circuitry.

2.2.2. Snap Action 20/30 Amp Breaker
●Channels 4-11
○30 or 20 Amp Breaker
○Limits Closest Red WAGO
○Supplies Battery Power
Warning: Inductive loads (motor, compressor) must have a power management device
(motor controller, PCM, spike) between itself and the PDP. No inductive loads (motor,
