BS PD IEC/TR 62660-4:2017

BS PD IEC/TR 62660-4:2017 provides the test data on the candidate alternative test methods forthe internal short circuit test according to 6.4.4.2.2 of IEC 62660-3:2016. The internal shortcircuit test in this document is intended to simulate an internal short circuit of a cell caused bythe contamination of conductive particle, and to verify the safety performance of the cell undersuch conditions.This document is applicable to the secondary lithium-ion cells and cell blocks used forpropulsion of electric vehicles (EV) including battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hybridelectric vehicles (HEV).NOTE This document does not cover cylindrical cells.Cross References:IEC 62619:2017IEC 62660-3:2016
