This session will give an overview of a system safety concept for a high voltage traction inverter of Battery Electric Vehicle. Performance and functional safety requirements mean that we have to be able to monitor the safety aspects of each of the components within the powertrain. Using a concept to deliver a complete package with risk assessment, safety goal definitions and a functional safety concept as well as the technical safety architecture of a traction motor inverter, you will learn how to derive functional safety requirements to implement in your next designs.
