Course Overview:
This half-day training course is designed for professionals involved in automotive high voltage (HV) systems development. Participants will learn how to design and implement safety measures to protect against electrical hazards, following industry standards and regulations such as FMVSS 305, ECE R100, IEC 60529, IEC 60664, and SAE J1766 as well as show the interdependence to the automotive functional safety standard ISO 26262. The training covers the various layers of protection required to ensure safe HV system design, operation, and compliance.
Training Objectives:
High voltage electrical safety is critical in automotive systems to prevent harm from electrical shock. This course introduces a multi-layered approach to protection, helping professionals understand and implement industry standards to ensure the safety and reliability of HV systems.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand HV safety standards: Learn how to design electrical systems compliant with key automotive HV safety standards and regulations, including SAE J1766, FMVSS 305, and ECE R100.
- Apply multi-layered protection strategies: Implement layers of protection to protect against electrical hazards like shock and system failure.
- Optimize safety designs: Ensure systems include essential physical, sneak circuit, electrical/electronic, and process protection layers for HV systems.
Course Details
Participants will explore the safety risks associated with HV systems and how to mitigate them using a layered approach.
