Formula Student Electric Vehicle - Stier Racing
Founded in November 2016, the Stier Racing Club of MSRIT is a club of aspiring engineers which aims to innovate in the field of electrical automobiles. Our team participates in high-profile competitions that attract around 1500 students from India's 70 most prestigious colleges, along with numerous industry leaders. Our passion for electrically powered automobiles is represented by the formula racecars we have developed over the past 8 years. Our goal is to innovate and push the boundaries of automobile technology, while moving towards a sustainable future.
Some Of The Safety Circuits Used:
BSPD (Brake System Plausibility Device) circuit: -
The BSPD circuit monitors the plausibility of the brake system, particularly checking whether the accelerator pedal is engaged while the brakes are being applied. If the circuit detects a situation where the accelerator and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously beyond a certain threshold, it triggers an emergency stop by cutting off power to the motor controller.
Precharge circuit: -
The precharge circuit is a critical component used to safely energize the high-voltage system before full power is applied to the motor controller. It helps prevent potentially damaging inrush currents when connecting the battery to the motor controller, which could otherwise lead to damage to components, and unnecessary stress on the system.
TSAL (tractive system active light) circuit: -
The Tractive System Active Light is a safety indicator used to visually indicate when the high-voltage tractive system is active. This light is crucial for safety, ensuring that anyone around the vehicle is aware of the potential hazards posed by the active high-voltage system.
The design and manufacturing of such safety circuits is essential for us to build our electric race car to compete in Formula Bharat. With PCBWay's support, our team could reach new heights and significantly enhance the performance of our electric race car. Their expertise in PCB manufacturing and assembly would allow us to integrate advanced electronic systems, boosting the vehicle's overall functionality on the track. We are excited to collaborate with PCBWay, utilizing their resources and knowledge to drive innovation and achieve success for our team.
