High Voltage Safety for Electric Vehicles from Standards Perspectives

With rise of EV adoption globally, electrical system of EV’s are continuously moving towards higher voltage for enabling fast charging capabilities and addressing efficiency. High Voltage electrical safety is a crucial part of safety standards for Electric Vehicles. There are several challenges, when any electrical system operating in High voltage region. This is posing risk for user, it means from design stage these systems should be designed in such a way for safeguarding user. These electric safety concepts are already mapped through different safety standards. In this paper, this high voltage safety related test and functional & constructional requirements will be explored through different EV standards and finally a comparatively analysis carried out.
