Safety Precaution: Notes
WARNING:
Since hybrid vehicles contain a high voltage battery, if the high voltage system or vehicles are handled incorrectly, this might lead to a serious accidents like electric shock and electric leakage.
WARNING:
- Be sure to shut off the high voltage by removing the safety plug before performing inspection or repairing the high voltage system. (Refer to High Voltage Shutoff Procedure )
- The responsible worker keeps the removed safety plug to prevent the plug from being connected by mistake.
- Do not keep any metal objects (watch, ring etc.) while working on the high voltage system, which it can cause serious accidents like electric shock.
- Before beginning work on the high voltage system, the worker should wear personal protective equipment to prevent safety accidents. (Refer to Personal Protective Equipment )
- Never allow workers who are not wear personal protective equipment to touch the high voltage system. High voltage components should be covered with an insulation sheet to prevent safety accidents.
- Use insulation tools when working on the high voltage system.
- Put the removed high voltage components on the insulation mat.
Information
- All the high voltage wiring and connectors are orange.
- A caution label for high voltage is attached to the high voltage components.
- High voltage components: High Voltage Battery Pack Assembly, Power Relay Assembly (PRA), BMS ECU, Hybrid Power Control Unit (HPCU), Hybrid Drive Motor, HSG, Electric A/C Compressor, Low DC/DC Converter (LDC), Power Cable, Electric Compressor etc.
WARNING:
Use Mega Ohm Tester when measuring insulation resistance of the high voltage system.
Specification : High Impedance Digital Volt / Ohm Meter (DVOM) "Category 3"
Leads and Meter rated to 1, 000 voltage.
CAUTION:
Inform of danger of high voltage by putting the "high voltage caution" on the vehicle as shown in image below.
