Main Service 
Disconnect  
(MSD) 

Under vehicle on the front of 
the battery pack 

 

This service disconnect plug is a high voltage 
interconnect loop and is used to manually disconnect the 
high voltage between the battery and the vehicle.  High 
voltage is still present inside the battery pack even if the 
MSD is disconnected.

high voltage  inverter                         

Permanent magnet brushless DC motor uses three-phase 
high voltage current to propel the wheels via transaxle.

High Voltage Safety Measures 

The following safety measures are implemented to help identify high voltage areas and to ensure 

safe handling of the high voltage battery pack: 

 

Table 3:  HV Safety Measures 

Circuit insulation  

The high voltage Positive (+) and Negative (-) circuits are insulated 
from each other and from the metal chassis with dielectric materials 
rated at minimum 1000V.                                                 

Reducing the risk 
of electrocution 

The high voltage components and harnesses have insulated cases or 
coverings. The high voltage battery pack assembly is installed to the 
vehicle body through mounting bolts. These bolts are electrically 
conductive between the battery pack insulated tray and vehicle 
chassis ground This connection helps protect the vehicle occupants 
and emergency responders from high voltage electrical shock. 

Identification 

The high voltage components are clearly labeled with DANGER or 
WARNING Labels. The high voltage components and harnesses 
have insulated cases or 

ORANGE-COLORED

 coverings to provide 

easy identification of high voltage presence.
