Depower & Reinitialise Procedures

Detailed procedures for safely depowering and reinitialising battery electric vehicles. Covers vehicle-specific MSD locations, capacitor discharge timing, voltage verification methods, and system restart protocols.

Learning Objectives:

1. Locate the manual service disconnect (MSD) on common Australian-market EVs

2. Perform a complete depower sequence including capacitor discharge verification

3. Use a CAT III rated multimeter to verify zero energy state

4. Reinitialise HV systems following the correct startup sequence

5. Document the depower/reinitialise process for compliance records
