These currents do not include any high-side or low-side drivers:
• Any hi-side driver output currents, including the main and pre-charge contactor relay
drive currents, will come through the BATT+ pins and will add to the above currents.
• Any low-side driver output currents, including indicator lamp current, will come through
the GND pins, and should be considered in sizing this connection.
3.6.8 Grounding
The inverter housing has a location for connecting the case to ground. The inverter
housing must be connected to the motor case. It must also be connected to the vehicle
chassis and this assumes that the vehicle chassis is at the same potential as the 12V GND.
The inverter housing should not be allowed to be more than a few volts above the 12V GND.
If the inverter housing was disconnected hazardous voltages could develop on the housing.
