What safety measures are used to protect against high-voltage hazards in EVs?

EV high-voltage safety includes: Orange-colored cables for identification, insulation monitoring detecting faults, contactors disconnecting battery from system when not running, interlock systems disabling HV when covers are removed, crash-triggered pyrotechnic disconnects, grounding systems, and proper training requirements for service technicians. The 400-800V systems used in EVs can be lethal, requiring multiple layers of protection and standardized safety protocols.
