Safety Precautions for Hybrid/Electric Vehicles
Very high tensions occur on hybrid and electric vehicles. Due to voltage flashover on damaged
components, such as marten damage or touching live components, the risk of electric shock is
likely. High voltage at or in the vehicle can lead to death in case of inattention. Therefore regard
the following:
•
Only the following qualified employees are allowed to de-energize the high-voltage system:
–
High-voltage technician
–
Skilled electrician for predetermined operations – Hybrid or rather electric vehicles
–
Skilled electrician
•
Place warning signs and warning tapes.
•
Check the high-voltage system and the high-voltage lines for damage (visual inspection!).
•
De-energizing the high-voltage system:
–
Switch off ignition.
–
Disconnect the service disconnect plug.
–
Remove the fuse.
•
Securing the high-voltage system against re-activation:
–
Withdraw the ignition key and keep it safe.
–
Keep the service disconnect plug safe or secure the battery master switch against re-
activation.
–
Insulate the battery master switch, the plug connections etc. with dummy plugs, covering
caps or insulating tape with the corresponding warning notice.
•
Check the de-energized state with a voltage tester. Even with disconnected high-voltage
system, residual voltage can still be present.
•
Ground and short-circuit the high-voltage system (necessary only if voltage is higher than
1000 V).
