POWER CUT OFF CONTROL : System Description


SYSTEM DIAGRAM







DESCRIPTION

Because EV uses high voltage power, there is a risk of electric shock if the high voltage circuit is shorted to a body ground during a collision. To avoid such risks, if VCM detects a car crush information signal, VCM deactivates the system main relay to cut off the Li-ion battery from the high voltage circuit so that the risk of electric shock is reduced.
