Kia EV6: High Voltage Shut-off Procedures

High Voltage Shut-off Procedures

Kia EV6. High Voltage Shut-off Procedures   

• When working on high voltage system, the work should be performed by technicians who have completed the relevant training. A lack of understanding of the high voltage system can lead to serious accidents due to electric shock or electric leakage.

• When working on high voltage system or related components, make sure that you are familiar and comply with the "Safety Precautions, Cautions and Warnings." If you do not comply with the instructions, serious accidents due to electric shock or leakage may occur.

• When working on high voltage system, make sure to check the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and high voltage shut-off procedures.

Kia EV6. High Voltage Shut-off Procedures   

1)Check for insulation breakdown via KDS and physical leakage current before working on EV.

2)Remove the main fuse if insulation breakdown or leakage current is suspected. [Remove the main fuse even when DTC CODE ON such as Power Relay Assembly (PRA) malfunction](Refer to High Voltage Battery Control System - "Main Fuse")If there is no insulation breakdown or leakage current and it is normal, work without removing the main fuse.
