Abstract:
High-Voltage-applications (HV) developed over years. Within modules, assemblies and systems, short circuits prevented by applying relevant standards, taking into account pollution degree, clearances and creepage distances. Automotive OEM’s claimed requirements for particle contamination concept (Technical Cleanliness). Central documents are VDA 19 Volume 1 & 2, the ISO 16232 and the ZVEI Guideline Technical Cleanliness (TecCl) in Electrical Engineering. What is the impact of applying the TecCl on the current used standards and how does this match present and future shift of OEM claimed requirements? Do they also have an impact on e.g. creepage distances, reliability or durability? The aim is to understand the view of OEM’s “Technical cleanliness” in automotive applications or Power Modules.
