High Voltage Safety

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

High Voltage Safety

Post

Can anyone point me to specific information on how the high voltages are addressed from a safety standpoint? How do teams insure mechanics, drivers and track personnel are not at risk of lethal shock when they touch a car, crashed or whole?

I'm trying to get a school project started and safety is the number one topic that needs to be addressed before anything will be allowed to proceed. Obviously the FIA has this already figured out and I need to learn from the best. I have searched for rules but can't find any directly pertaining to high voltage safety.

Thank you

What kind of school project is it?

Try searching for formula SAE hybrid/electric rules. They are practically all safety related. There are a lot of directives regarding battery pack construction, HV isolation, throttle sensor redundancy, splash resistence, allowed materials etc...
