I’m speaking about the power planes. What they drive is irrelevant from the standpoint that higher voltage systems create safety issues that lower voltage systems do not have. No one is going to be ok with “occasionally being shocked by 48v” or “occasionally seeing arcing in their car from a high voltage system.”
Running 48v to a radio is not an engineering marvel. Running it safely and reliably in an automotive environment full of vibration and weather is.
If you can do that with 400v, I argue you can do it with 48v, so the secret sauce they’re sharing is less relevant than if they did this ten years ago.
- Turskarama 3y agoI feel like you're mixing up points now, running 48V is fine _because_ the voltage is low enough that it's unlikely to kill anyone if you mess it up. The 400V system in the meantime has a lot more care taken and limiting the systems it works on to ONLY high power systems lessens the number of things that can go wrong.
