BMW 3: Equipotential bonding
The low-resistance connection between the housing of the high-voltage battery
unit and ground is
a crucial prerequisite for the fault-free function of the integrated isolation
monitoring. This is why it
is important to observe the correct tightening torque for all assembly screws.
It is also important to
ensure that neither the housing of the high-voltage battery unit nor the body at
the respective bore
holes/threads is painted, corroded or dirty. The bare metal must be exposed if
necessary before the
assembly screws can be mounted.

If the low-resistance connection between the high-voltage battery unit
and the body ground is
insufficient, then a possible isolation fault remains unnoticed and cannot be
detected by the isolation
monitoring. In the event of a fault, there is the potential danger of an
electric shock.

When mounting the mounting bolts and equipotential bonding screws, the exact
procedure must be
observed:
- Clean contact surfaces and screw hole threads and have them checked by a
second person
- Tighten assembly screws to specified torque
- Have torque checked by second person
- Both persons must record this in the vehicle records for the correctness
of the version. The
"Form for equipotential bonding screw connections" is provided in ISTA
application for
this purpose.
