This whitepaper explores the transition from 12V to 48V electrical systems as vehicles demand more power for advanced features. Moving to 48V reduces current requirements, enabling smaller wires, lower weight, and improved efficiency. However, the shift introduces new design challenges, including managing arcing risks, ensuring proper insulation, and maintaining separation between different voltage systems. The paper outlines key considerations such as connector design, sealing requirements, and compliance with safety standards. Overall, adopting 48V architecture provides a scalable solution for meeting growing electrical demands while improving vehicle performance and efficiency.
