Warning

Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required to perform this procedure:

  • High Voltage (HV) insulating gloves
  • Leather glove protectors
  • High voltage glove tester
  • Safety glasses
  • Electrical hazard rated safety shoes
Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
Warning

A glove inflator is the only recommended way to test HV gloves. Both HV gloves must pass testing before beginning this procedure. If either glove does not pass the air check, discard the pair.

Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
Warning

Make sure that the HV gloves are not expired. HV gloves can be used up to 12 months after the testing date printed on the glove, but only 6 months after first use even if the gloves are still within the 12-month period.

  7. Put on HV insulating gloves and leather gloves.
  8. At the charge port, use the Hioki resistance meter to measure the resistance between the charge port busbar lead and the charge port busbar stud. Also perform this test on the other lead and stud.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    The acceptable resistance is between 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ) and 0.270 mΩ (270 μΩ). If the measured resistance is above 0.270 mΩ (270 μΩ), there is too much resistance in the High Voltage joint. Remove the fastener, clean areas with isopropyl alcohol, install fastener back and test again, as appropriate.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    If the resistance is lower than 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ), reposition the probes and measure again. If after 4 attempts the resistance is consistently lower than 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ), the test has passed; continue to the next step.
