Number: MER0003VGV For battery-electric vehicles (BEV), the safe potential compensation between high-voltage components and the vehicle body is essential in order to ensure electrical safety and EMC conformity. Up to now, this compensation is usually effected via separate potential compensation lines. Innovative approaches, such as the conductive attachment of relevant HV components directly via the body, could be an efficient alternative. Objective of work: The Master's thesis aims to scientifically examine the technical context and the necessary conditions for potential compensation through alternative solutions. The applicable safety requirements and standards (e.g. ISO 6469, ECE-R100) must be taken into account. The aim is to analyse and evaluate the feasibility, advantages and potential risks of these approaches. Tasks: Analysis of current concepts for potential balancing in BEV Developing requirements and boundary conditions for alternative solutions Development and evaluation of concepts for conducting mounting of HV components Consideration of relevant safety standards and EMC requirements deriving recommendations for implementation in vehicle development Topic: Investigation of alternative solutions for potential balancing in battery-electric vehicles (BEV). The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us. The activity can start from January 2026.
