HV Safety Warning Labels
The National Code of Practice for electric vehicles (see NCOP14) requires that any devices or compartments in a vehicle containing Hazardous Voltages (considered to be anything above 32VDC) must have the appropriate warning label(s).
This waterproof sticker is formatted to the international standard ANSI Z535.4 layout, and includes the ISO 3864 logo for electric shock hazard / hazardous voltage plus relevant warning text.

Hazardous Warning Labels for Lead Acid Battery Powered EVs
These Labels relate to EVs powered by Lead Acid Batteries and Number Plate Sticker to Warn Emergency Services of potential Hazards . (see NCOP14
First Inertia Switch Vehicle crash sensor, 8-14G
These switches are designed to automatically trigger in the event of an impact. They are used in production vehicles to cut off the fuel pump in the event of an accident, but are used in EVs to open the vehicle's contactor(s), to automatically shut down the traction circuit and isolate the battery pack(s) in the event of an accident.
To install, simply connect the Normally Closed contacts between your ignition line and your contactor(s). The switch should be mounted rigidly to the vehicle's frame for correct triggering, and in a vertical orientation (i.e red end up) to ensure 360 degree range of operation. The appropriate 3-pin AMP connector is included.
A small price to pay for added safety - every EV should have one!

250A Emergency Disconnect Switch aka Big Red Button, 250A continuous
Emergency disconnect switches like this one give you a way to safely cut power in your electric vehicle especialy in DC Electric Motor Powered Vehicles should anything go wrong, such as Controller going DC a motor short circuit or a stuck accelerator. Having a master disconnect switch is also recommended by the National Guidelines for Installation of Electric Drives in Vehicles (section 3.1).
They are rated to 250A continuous, but can handle much higher currents short term, so are fine for breaking the traction circuit directly in most EV systems. The contacts have a rated electrical life of 1000 live disconnects - but hopefully you'll never experience 1000 emergency situations! (see NCOP14

Emergency Stop Switch Low power, aka Little Red Button
These small, latching emergency stop buttons are for breaking low power circuits only. The contacts are rated at up to 300VAC @ 3A, but we recommend not running them above about 24V for DC. They have sets of both normally-open and normally-closed contacts, and carry CE certification.
They are commonly used for breaking the 12V line powering the contactors in your electric vehicle, as a means of shutting down the traction circuit in an emergency. With no traction circuit wiring coming directly to the switch, they may be legally mounted within a vehicle's cabin (maintaining compliance with NCOP14).

Bussmann FWH Fuse - 300A 500VDC rated, fast acting semiconductor fuses
The Bussman FWH series of fast-acting semiconductor fuses are the ideal solution for protecting the traction circuit in your EV from overcurrent situations. The FWH series is UL Listed for up to 500VDC. Few fuses on the market have a DC voltage rating high enough for use in electric vehicle traction circuits - don't get caught out with inappropriate safety devices!
Installation should be as close as possible to your batteries for maximum protection, and for safety you should use one fuse for each group of batteries in your vehicle. See our circuits section for a graphical example.

Clipsal Weatherproof charge plug
These weatherproof charge plugs are ideal for EVs which are charged outdoors or in a dirty environment. They are compact enough to fit behind the charge (fuel) door on most EVs.
The design features a recessed connector and a hinged cover, allowing the cable to remain plugged in with the door fully closed. (There is a small rubber flap at the end of the cover for the cord to pass through.)
240VAC 15A male plug - Note: Not compatible with 10A leads due to the larger ground pin on 15A plugs!
Rated to IP34 with the cover down, i.e protection against stray fingers and splashed water/rain.

Power Cable, 95mm² Orange Double insulated
Orange insulation is a legal requirement for any cables carrying voltages over 32VDC in road-going vehicles. 95mm² is recommended for high power EVs, with controllers rated to 1000 amps or greater. Maximum continuous rating is about 300 amps. It is double insulated (orange outer with white inner) for excellent wearability and safety. (see NCOP14)
