Electrical Shock Risks and How to
Handle Them
Electrical shock risks pose a significant threat when working with electric
vehicles, especially due to the high-voltage systems used in these vehicles.
The dictionary outlines the potential hazards associated with electric vehicle
systems, such as:
- High-voltage
batteries (typically ranging from 400V to 800V in most EVs)
- Electric motors, which require
specialized handling
- Charging
systems, including high-voltage applications like AC and DC To
mitigate these risks, the dictionary outlines protocols and best practices
for electrical safety when working with electric vehicles. These practices
include:
- Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE): The dictionary
emphasizes the importance of wearing insulated gloves, protective
footwear, and eye protection when handling high-voltage
systems.
- De-energize
