2. Process Flow & Operating Steps

StepOperationWorking Instructions & StandardsKey Control PointsTools / Equipment
01Incoming QCCheck BOM, verify enclosure, power modules, PCBs, harnesses, fasteners & insulators for damage and correct part numbers.Lot numbers, certificates, ESD-sensitive partsCalipers, multimeter
02Cabinet Pre-assemblyInstall grounding busbar, cable glands, fan brackets; pre-fit door locks & hinges.Ground resistance ≤ 0.1 Ω, threads without burrsElectric screwdriver, torque wrench (8 Nm)
03Power-Module InstallationSlide modules into rails, tighten 4×M6 bolts, connect DC busbars & AC input copper bars.Module sequence matches label, anti-misinsertionSocket wrench, insulated gloves
04Control Unit AssemblyMount main board, billing board, display & indicator lights; connect flat cables (check keying).No cable compression, latches fully engagedESD wrist strap, Phillips screwdriver
05Harness RoutingRoute per wiring diagram: AC input, DC output & comm. lines in separate ducts; zip-tie spacing 150 mm.HV/LV separation, slack ≤ 30 mmCable-tie gun, wire label printer
06Insulation & Hi-Pot TestAC circuit: 1 500 V AC / 1 min, no breakdown; DC circuit: 1 000 V DC / 1 min, leakage ≤ 10 mA.Disconnect SPD before testHipot tester
07Functional CommissioningPower-on self-test: communication, card reader, billing, insulation monitor, fan control, E-stop.Record & clear fault codesDC load, BMS simulator
08Burn-in TestFull-load run 2 h; temperature rise ≤ 65 K, no abnormal noise or alarms.Log temp, current & voltage every hourBurn-in rack, IR thermometer
09Cleaning & Final QCRemove label residue & fingerprints, verify silkscreen, apply warning labels (“High Voltage”, “Operating Guide”).No scratches, labels bubble-freeIPA, lint-free cloth
10Packing & WarehousingSeal in anti-moisture bag, place in honeycomb carton, four-corner foam, “#” strapping.Accessories: manual, CoC, keysStrapping machine, digital scale

4. Safety Notes

  1. ESD Protection: Wear grounded wrist strap (≤ 1 MΩ) at all electronic assembly stations.
  2. High-Voltage Warning: Barricade hipot area and post “Danger – High Voltage” signs.
  3. Emergency Stop: Install E-stop switch at burn-in station, response ≤ 0.5 s.
  4. Poka-Yoke: Use keyed connectors for modules and color-coded harnesses by voltage class.
