EV Isolation Requires Thoroughness Plus Monitoring for Safety and Performance (Download)

Electric vehicles (EVs) depend on high-wattage power electronics to power and operate the vehicle drivetrain. Simultaneously, they rely on battery systems as well as a growing number of sensitive electronic components providing creature comforts, operating safety functions, and monitoring everything else.

This often results in closely packed electronic systems, particularly high-power and high-voltage circuits proximate to lower-power and lower-voltage control electronics. This necessary arrangement risks crosstalk, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and even EV safety—perhaps even dangerous electric shocks.
