Station 2 Electrical Scrutineering Common Issues & Good Practices Liam Hubbard, Chief Electrical Judge SCC 2018-Present
Station 2 Intent Ensure a minimum level of electrical systems safety Ensure Rules Compliance Improve Car Electrical Reliability
Common Issues that will keep your team from passing station 2: High Voltage in Driver Compartments Lacking or non-matching documentation of critical systems Unsecured wires and components Uninsulated wires, connections, components Electrical tape as high voltage insulation Missing Locking fasteners on high voltage Driver entrapment issues from hanging wires during egress Improperly Rated Components Incorrectly Wired Disconnect Switches Unable to Verify Documentation Matches Components
How to check your car before getting to the race so you can go do other things instead of station 2: Perform a mock inspection of your own car and be very strict on your car with respect to the rules If you don t think something will pass, fix it, or send an email to the race for a rule's clarification, much easier to fix it before the race than during. Example: When checking the insulation of the high voltage, if hypothetically someone could drop a wrench across it and short something, it probably needs better insulation.
