Drive Box

The glycol/water mix that cools the Seakeeper is also circulated through a cold plate inside the Drive Box to remove heat from high-power electronic components.

The Motor Drive Box contains an electrical hazard and the cover should not be removed while the flywheel is spinning and the DC input voltage is present. The electrical hazard exists even if the flywheel is coasting down and the supply voltage has been shut off. The flywheel must be at 0 RPM and DC input power disconnected for at least 10 minutes prior to any service work on the motor drive box.
