2. Introduction to End of line (EOL) Test Items
Digital Multimeter Test Item Introduction
| Function | Measured Object | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| DC Voltage Measurement | Total voltage, string voltage, BMS power‑supply voltage | Verify basic output, cell balance performance and BMS operating conditions |
| Continuity Test | Fuse, connector, wire harness | Detect open‑circuit faults and verify assembly integrity |
| Resistance Measurement | Connection points, loops | Roughly evaluate connection reliability |
| Current Measurement | Standby current | Verify BMS sleep power consumption |
Dielectric Withstand Test (HIPOT)
HIPOT (High Potential) Test: A destructive test designed to apply a high voltage—significantly higher than the standard operating voltage—to the Device Under Test (DUT). The purpose is to verify whether the insulation structure can withstand such overvoltage and to detect potential insulation defects, such as insufficient clearances or the presence of impurities. This is one of the most critical tests for electrical safety.
Insulation Resistance Test (IR)
Insulation Resistance (IR) Test: A non-destructive test aimed at measuring the resistance value of insulating materials under a DC voltage. Its purpose is to evaluate whether the quality of the insulation material is sound and to detect if it is affected by moisture, aging, or contamination.
AC Internal Resistance (ACIR) and Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) Measurement
Testing Principle: The instrument generates a constant AC test current (typically very low) and applies it across the battery terminals. By detecting the AC voltage drop across the battery and applying Ohm’s Law (Z = V / I), the instrument calculates the battery’s AC internal resistance (ACIR).
| Function | Measurement Object | Objective |
| DC Voltage Measurement | Total Voltage, Series Voltage, BMS Supply Voltage | Verify basic output, cell balancing, and BMS operating conditions |
| Continuity Test | Fuses, Connectors, Wiring Harnesses | Troubleshoot open circuits and verify assembly integrity |
| Resistance Measurement | Connection points, Circuits | Rough assessment of connection reliability |
| Current Measurement | Standby Current | Verify BMS sleep mode power consumption |
By utilizing communication functions, the test system transitions from passive measurement to active interaction, enabling the verification of whether the BMS is functioning correctly.
