Industry Solutions | Safety Protection Facilities Knowledge

1. Industry Background

There are safety risks in all battery-related businesses. Whether in maintenance work or in the transportation and storage of batteries, safety management must be strengthened to prevent high-voltage safety accidents. What safety protection equipment is needed when engaging in high-voltage battery operations?

2. Knowledge of safety protection facilities

1. Insulating gloves:

When performing any operation on high-voltage components or lines, you need to use electrician insulating gloves made of rubber and able to withstand working voltages above 1000V.

Insulating gloves are alkali-resistant and can prevent chemical damage to human tissues when working in contact with chemicals such as potassium hydroxide from high-voltage power batteries.

Precautions for use:

(1) Check that the insulating gloves are within the test period and the test certificate is intact (the insulating gloves should be numbered uniformly, and at least two pairs of insulating gloves should be kept for use on site).

(2) Check that the rubber of the insulating gloves is intact and there is no adhesive damage or leakage (the specific method to check for leakage is: roll the gloves towards the fingers. When rolled to a certain extent, if the fingers bulge and there is no leakage, it is good).

(3) Place the cuff of your coat into the extended part of the phone.

(4) After use, it should be wiped clean and dried. It is best to sprinkle some talcum powder on it to prevent sticking.

2. Insulated shoes:

The function of insulating safety shoes is to insulate the human body from the ground, prevent the electric current from forming a path between the human body and the earth, and cause electric shock injuries to the human body, so as to minimize the risk of electric shock. Because when electric shock occurs, the current flows into the ground through the human body through the contact point. Therefore, when doing electrical work, you should not only wear insulating gloves, but also insulating shoes.

Precautions for use:

(1) Check that the insulating shoes are within the test period and the test certificate is intact (insulating shoes should be numbered uniformly, and at least two pairs of insulating shoes should be used on site).

(2) Check that the surface is intact and undamaged. If there are sand holes or air leaks, do not use it.

(3) After use, wipe it clean and store it in a safe place.

(4) If insulating shoes fail the test, they cannot be worn.

3. Goggles:

Wear appropriate eye protection goggles to prevent battery fluid splashing. Goggles used for high-voltage vehicle maintenance should have side protection functions to prevent electric sparks generated during maintenance from damaging the eyes.

4. Safety Helmet:

When lifting or digging for circuit inspection or maintenance on new energy vehicles, it is recommended to wear an insulating helmet to prevent accidents such as electric shock and collision.

5. Non-chemical fiber work clothes

When repairing high voltage systems, non-synthetic fiber work clothes must be worn. Synthetic fiber work clothes mainly generate static electricity, and when a fire accident occurs, the chemical fiber will adhere to the human skin in a high temperature environment, causing serious secondary injuries to the maintenance personnel.

6. Insulation tools

When maintaining high-voltage vehicles, tools with insulating functions must be used. These tools include commonly used sockets, open-end wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, electrician’s knives, etc., as well as special instruments such as digital multimeters, insulation meters, etc.

7. Mobile power battery immersion pool

Used to allow the power lithium battery to gradually lose power and activity in the immersion pool, so that the power battery has no safety risks

8. Explosion-proof transport box for hazardous waste power batteries

A device used to transport power lithium batteries that may pose safety hazards to prevent the power batteries from getting out of control and catching fire, which may have an impact on the surrounding environment.

9. Mobile power battery emergency disposal box

Place power batteries that may pose safety hazards or conduct tests that may cause battery safety failures to prevent safety failures from occurring and keep them within a safe range without affecting the environment

10. Fixed power battery safety storage cabinet

Used to store and test power lithium batteries in a safe environment
