EV.2 DOCUMENTATION
EV.2.1 Electrical System Form - ESF
EV.2.1.1 Each team must submit an Electrical System Form (ESF) with a clearly structured documentation of the entire vehicle electrical system (including control and Tractive System).
Submission and approval of the ESF does not mean that the vehicle will automatically pass Electrical Technical Inspection with the described items / parts.
EV.2.1.2 The ESF may provide guidance or more details than the Formula SAE Rules.
EV.2.1.3 Use the format provided and submit the ESF as given in section DR - Document Requirements
EV.2.2 Submission Penalties
Penalties for the ESF are imposed as given in section DR - Document Requirements.
This set of rules outlines the requirements for teams participating in Formula SAE competitions regarding their Electrical System Form (ESF). Each team must meticulously document their entire vehicle's electrical system, encompassing both control and Tractive System components. However, submission and approval of the ESF do not guarantee automatic passage of the Electrical Technical Inspection. The ESF is expected to provide comprehensive details beyond what is stipulated in the Formula SAE Rules, using a specified format outlined in section DR - Document Requirements. Non-compliance or inadequate submission of the ESF may result in penalties as specified in the document. It serves as a critical preparatory step for ensuring the thoroughness and compliance of the vehicle's electrical system before evaluation in the competition.
