8 2 . Charging operation
■ Safety functions
The CCID ( Charging Circuit Interrupting Device ) has the following safety features .
● Electrical leakage detection function
If an electrical leakage is detected during charging , the power source will be automatically interrupted , thus preventing fires or electrical shocks caused by electrical leakage .
If the power source is interrupted , the error warning indicator flashes .
● Automatic check function
This is an automatic system check that is run before charging begins to check for problems in the operation of the electrical leakage detection function .
● Temperature detection function A temperature detection function is equipped to the plug . While charging , if heat is generated due to looseness on the outlet side etc ., this function suppresses heat by controlling the charging current .
● Conditions for supplying current to the vehicle The CCID ( Charging Circuit Interrupting Device ) is designed to prevent electrical current from being supplied to the charging connector when it is not connected to the vehicle , even if the plug is inserted into the outlet .
■ Safety functions
●The EV system will not start while the AC charging cable is attached to the vehicle , even if the power switch is operated .
●If the AC charging cable is connected while the “ READY ” indicator is illuminated , the EV system will stop automatically and driving will not be possible .
