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.
So, what is the purpose of the Electrical Systems Form?
Its main tenants are to provide comprehensive documentation of the high voltage electrical system and tractive system design, the associated data sheets with part-rated specifications, schematics of required circuits and SolidWorks models, as well as rules compliance of electrical components.
For more information about structure, format, and readability, navigate through the presentation below.
EV.2.1.2 The ESF may provide guidance or more details than the Formula SAE Rules.
Shows - Charging Shutdown Circuit (From the ESF)
Shows - Charging Shutdown Circuit (From the ESF)
There are a variety of sections within the ESF, specifically the Schematic Shows, which do not directly reference any FSAE Rules. Take, for example, the Charge Control (CAN, Enable, etc.) and Charge Connector Interlock.
Considerations such as these are brought to the viewer's attention throughout the ESF.
EV.2.1.3 Use the format provided and submit the ESF as given in section DR - Document Requirements
The format is a spreadsheet which is made publicly available and downloadable on the Formula SAE International website. Navigation to there is as follows:
fsaeonline.com -> Series Resources - Technical Inspection Resources - EV Templates -> Electric Systems Form
This excel format, as directed in DR - Document Requirements, is the format which our documentation must be submitted.
