Technical FAQs 4

What is high-voltage active discharge?

High-voltage active discharge refers to the process in which the electrical energy stored in high-voltage capacitors is rapidly (typically within 1-2 seconds) released to a safe level (reducing the high voltage to below 60V) through a specialized discharge circuit and control strategy after the high-voltage system of the EV is powered off.

Do EV traction inverters need a DC link active discharge?

Every EV traction inverter requires a DC link active discharge as a safety-critical function. The discharge circuit is required to discharge the energy in the DC link capacitor under the following conditions and requirements: Power transistor on, off control using the TPSI3050-Q1.

What is a passive discharge in a high-voltage system?

Application scenarios: Passive discharge ensures gradual voltage reduction within the high-voltage system when the vehicle is switched off and no other discharge mechanisms are active. It serves as a final safety barrier when active discharge paths fail. How quickly should a high-voltage system discharge to be considered safe?

What is a high-voltage DC link?

Image used courtesy of Adobe Stock High-voltage DC links are central to a wide range of power electronic systems in electric and hybrid vehicles—including inverters relying on large capacitors (e.g 1 mF) to stabilize the voltage, reduce ripple, and support efficient control and operation.
