It is the Canadian ev unit. It been running since 2005 or 2006. Use a 70 amp circuit breaker and a solid state 100 amp relay to turn on this unit. The relay is control by a on dash rocker switch which is normally on all the time. The ignition control switch provide 12V power to the rocker switch when the ignition switch is turn on.
The circuit between the ignition switch and the control relay is also fuse with a standard 5 amp auto fuse. This unit normally draws 10 to 15 amps and may surge up to 50 amps when turning the wheels depending on the weight of the vehicle.
