Why / What / Where?

Task List

Need a proposed design for a simple fuse block. A fuse block mechanically constrains the terminals of the fuse to the battery box enclosure. - start with this and check in with Micah Black
Deliverable → A 3D model of the proposed fuse block, along with details on the materials and manufacturing processes selected to make it
Finalize and prototype battery fuse block
Design the blocks for the Rear Electrical enclosure (there are many more fuses in this section

GrabCAD link for the battery box is here:
MSXIV → Development → Battery Box → CAD → Rev 6 → Rev 6 Assemblies → Battery Box

Why / What / Where?

There is 1 pair of conductors (high voltage (HV) and ground (GND)) exiting the battery pack, and multiple devices that need to connect to this high voltage connector:

...

8.5 - Both leads must be mechanically constrained to the battery enclosure using a fuse block and cover.

...

Current Mounting

Where are the fuses in the battery box - (circled in red):

...

Mounting

As you can see in this screenshot, the fuse is not currently mounted to anything, nor has any electrical connections (screenshot taken June 18, 2020) - we need to fix this. The examples below are mostly from the EV industry and are listed as design inspiration as a starting point.
