EV Safety Chapter 2
Summary Outline:
Floating Ground and Ground Fault Monitoring:
Explanation of floating grounds in high-voltage systems.
Ground fault monitors detect high-voltage leaks and activate warning systems.
High-Voltage Power Down Procedures:
Even after power down, high voltage remains in capacitors for up to 15 minutes.
Importance of verifying the absence of voltage with personal protective equipment (PPE) after waiting.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Testing Procedures:
Inspection of gloves and proper usage of rubber and white protective gloves.
Risks associated with shortcuts and improper testing.
Electrical Shock Risks from Towing or Pushing EVs:
Pushing or towing an EV generates AC voltage, presenting a shock risk.
Moisture can increase shock potential.
Insulation Testing and Monitoring Systems:
Insulation testers measure resistance in circuits and components.
Proper PPE is necessary when using these tools.
Isolation Fault Monitoring:
Systems detect high-voltage leakage to the chassis.
Isolation faults are identified and flagged, but exact locations require further testing.
High-Voltage Interlock Circuit:
The interlock circuit detects breaches and initiates discharge processes.
Technicians must follow specific procedures and wait for systems to safely discharge.
First Responder Emergency Cut Points:
First responder emergency cut points and their usage in various vehicle models.
Use of QR codes for quick access to emergency information.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for High-Voltage Work:
Detailed overview of PPE requirements, including suits, helmets, gloves, and insulated mats.
Importance of inspecting, testing, and storing gloves correctly.
Glove Inspection and Usage:
Procedures for inspecting gloves, including air tests and visual inspections.
Proper storage and handling of gloves to prevent damage.
