Drive Box

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

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