Guide on Electrical Safety for Electric Vehicle (EV) Maintenance and Service
| As more people turn to electric vehicles, it's important to remember that, like regular cars, they need their fair share of maintenance to keep running smoothly. Fig. 1 shows an example of a flow for conducting service or maintenance on an EV. Before any repair or maintenance tasks, particularly during shutdown and reinitialization phases, specific electrical tests are crucial due to the existence of high-voltage components such as batteries and inverters within the EV systems. To ensure a safe and effective process, Hioki has a "Guide on Electrical Safety for EV Maintenance and Services" for conducting high-voltage shutdown and reinitialization procedures in an EV. | |
