EV.6.8.1 Two Tractive System Measuring Points (TSMP) must be installed in the vehicle which are:
a. Connected to the positive and negative motor controller/inverter supply lines
b. Next to the Master Switches EV.8.10
c. Protected by a nonconductive housing that can be opened without tools
d. Protected from being touched with bare hands / fingers once the housing is opened EV.6.8.2 Two TSMPs must be installed in the Charger EV.10.2 which are:
a. Connected to the positive and negative Charger output lines
b. Available during charging of any Accumulator(s) EV.6.8.3 The TSMPs must be:
a. 4 mm shrouded banana jacks rated to an appropriate voltage level
b. Color: Red
c. Marked “HV+” and “HV-“
EV.6.8.4 Each TSMP must be secured with a current limiting resistor.
a. The resistor must be sized per the following:
Maximum TS Voltage (Vmax) Resistor Value
Vmax <= 200 V DC 5 kOhm
200 V DC < Vmax <= 400 V DC 10 kOhm
400 V DC < Vmax <= 600 V DC 15 kOhm
b. Direct measurement of the value of the resistor must be possible during Electrical Technical Inspection.
EV.6.8.5 Any TSMP must not contain additional Overcurrent Protection.
