    摘要: A method and apparatus provide an electrical splice between different high-voltage components in a high-voltage propelled vehicle (HVPV), which enables a daisy-chain or series connection of the components. The method includes connecting a first end of a cable to a first component, a second end of the cable to a high-voltage bus bar within a second component to form a splice, and using the outer housings of the components to provide an environmental seal and electromagnetic capability (EMC) shield for the splice, rather than providing such a splice within a dedicated or shared power distribution box. A ring terminal connects to an end of a cable by a press-fitting process or a soldering process. The components can be an energy storage system (ESS), a power inverter module (PIM), an air conditioning control module (ACCM), an auxiliary power module (APM), a power steering controller, and an electrical motor/generator.

    摘要: A method includes detecting high-voltage faults, such as welded contactors or disconnected components, in a vehicle by measuring the total electrical impedance between positive and negative rails of a high-voltage bus and a ground or chassis, comparing the impedance before and after opening the contactors, and executing a maintenance response. The response includes setting an error code when the open impedance level is less than a threshold multiple of the closed impedance level. A vehicle includes a chassis, energy storage system (ESS), motor/generator, and a high-voltage bus conducting electrical current from the ESS to the motor/generator. Contactors are positioned along each of the rails of the bus, a device for measuring a total electrical impedance level between the chassis and each of the rails, and a controller for determining a welded contactor condition of at least one of the contactors based on the measured total electrical impedance level.

    摘要: A method is provided for predicting a loss of high-voltage isolation within a hybrid, electric, or fuel cell vehicle. The method includes recording the equivalent resistance between a vehicle chassis and a high-voltage bus, detecting a trend in the measurements, and predicting when the resistance will drop below a threshold value. The method also includes issuing a warning or message to the owner/operator when the predicted remaining number of events drops below a predetermined number and/or when the resistance drops below the threshold. Additionally, an apparatus is provided for predicting a high-voltage isolation fault comprising a controller having an algorithm for predicting the fault, a high-voltage bus and bus components, and a reporting device for reporting the fault and/or predetermined number of remaining events. The controller is configured to initiate the algorithm and record a series of equivalent resistance measurements taken between the vehicle chassis and high-voltage bus.
