FMEA for HV system and unintended accel. b. Master switch 4.10 operation, c. Accumulator monitoring and d. fusing Note: even though this was checked of previously, it is needed for the full inspection process. Any pending items from preliminary inspection Initial if no remaining issues from preliminary inspection or all are resolved. On site inspection completed successfully High Voltage System (some items are repeats, but checked more carefully now) 4.2 No exposed HV (even w/o body panels) 4.2 No HV in cockpit or behind control panels 4.2 Mechanical linkages to high voltage controls isolated and/or grounded. 4.1 HV/LV segregation: not in same conduit 4.1 HV/LV segregation: in enclosures, adequately spaced and secured or 150 C barrier. 4.1 HV/LV segregation: spacing on PCBs 3.2.5. Brake overtravel switch 3.4.11 All three master switches tested 3.1.5 Strobe: on when HV on, off when HV off 3.1.6 HV disable with lockout/tagout capability. Must also disable strobe. 4.1.1 GFD: review design for latch off, accessible or indicator, no reset from driver's seat. 4.1.2 GFD test: test multiple points. 4.3 Wire insulation: Marked w/ voltage, temp, gauge. Visible in car or on sample. 4.3 Other insulation materials: rated for temp, at least 60 C 4.3 Test, or approve without test any insulation materials that might get hot. 4.3 Wiring to professional standards, bolted connections locked, conduit routed safely 4.3 HV wiring outside enclosures in LFNC A or B orange conduit, including low power HV.
