Inspect HV insulating gloves
NoteCheck gloves for damage prior to use. Refer to service document TN-15-92-003 for information on inspecting HV gloves.
- Put on HV insulating gloves and leather over gloves.
-
Perform Hioki resistance test at each
HV joint from HV busbar lead to charge port stud.
NoteWhen using Hioki tester, verify the meter has been properly adjusted and set prior to usage.NoteThe acceptable resistance is between 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ) and 0.270 mΩ (270 μΩ). If the resistance is greater than 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. If the resistance is lower than 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ), reposition the probes and measure again. If the resistance is repeatedly between 0.00 mΩ and 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ), hioki test passed, proceed to next step.
