2-4 High Voltage Safety Measures
Circuit insulation The high voltage positive (+) and negative (-) circuits are insulatedfrom the metal chassis.
Reducing the risk of electrocution The high voltage components and harnesses have insulated cases or orange-colored coverings which provide insulation and easy identification.
The high voltage battery case is electrically connected to the vehicle
ground. This connection helps protect the vehicle occupants and
emergency responders from high voltage electrical shock.
Identification The high voltage components are labeled “WARNING” similar to the label shown below. All high voltage harnesses are coated in orange.
