In the 17-18 school year, I worked on the high voltage system in our car’s battery.
Discharge Circuit
The purpose of the discharge board is to connect the high voltage capacitors inside of our motor controller across a power resistor to remove all the high voltage outside of the battery when the car initiates a shutdown.
The board also has tractive system measuring points connected to a set of power resistors to allow members to safely measure the battery voltage.
Accumulator Interface Board
The board connected the external connector of the battery to the necessary internal components.
