Has anyone out there seen fit to put an hour meter in their electric propulsion system? If so, where amonng the functional circuits did you put it?
Just curious to hear any thinking on the usefulness of an hour meter.
Thanks!
Where should an hour meter go?
What's the right spot in an electric propulsion system for an hour meter?
Which component(s) do people feel are most important to track usage time?
This is likely something simple to do, and would also be appreciated by any future prospective purchaser, I believe.
I was thinking about connecting it to the contactor that activates the motor controller. But alternative ideas would be welcome.
(Of course, if there's an argument for not even bothering, I'd appreciate hearing that, too!)
