SDU inverter to motor cable bolt torque?

Post by espriev »

Aloha!
Does anyone know this torque value (bolts under the orange cover that connect the inverter cables to the motor cables?
Getting ready to try this thing...

Thanks!

It's M6 but it are copper bolts if i recall correctly.

I would google the M6 strength for steel and compare steel to copper strength and down factor accordingly. With some safety.

Or just use goodandtight torque setting.
