Introduction
The requirements for voltage class B electric circuits used for electric power transfer for the propulsion of
electric road vehicles and their characteristics are significantly different to those of voltage class A electric
circuits. Moreover, the range of voltage class B is too wide to be used for a component design relating to
voltage.
The ISO 21498 series divides voltage class B in a set of voltage sub-classes to enable a component design
for each voltage sub-class relating to voltage. It provides appropriate descriptions and definitions for
requirements and characteristics of voltage class B systems for electrically propelled vehicles.
The voltage sub-class itself and the component characteristics have a large cost impact on the component
design and on the overall design of the electric system. Additionally, a high variety of different voltage sub-
classes and operating conditions impedes the use of an existing component in different vehicle models.
Standardising voltage sub-classes and characteristics and reducing varieties cuts component and system
costs. This allows the decoupling of the system or component designs of a voltage class B electric circuit
from the design of the electric energy source. Finally, the exchange of components from different suppliers
for different customers is facilitated.
ISO 21498-1 provides definitions of and for voltage sub-classes and characteristics for rechargeable energy
storage systems (RESS) and electric propulsion systems. It defines specific values for these sub-classes
based on maximum working voltage. Voltage sub-classes listed in ISO 21498-1 are used for voltage class B
systems of all kinds of current or future electrically propelled road vehicles.
This document provides electrical tests for electric and electronic components at voltage class B used for
electrically propelled road vehicles. All relevant characteristics are covered considering usual driving
scenarios as well as deviations from normal operation. The descriptions are generalized and include
purpose, setup, procedure and requirements for the tests.
The specifications in this document are not intended to restrict the development of component performance
or technology. The given definition of sub-classes does not exclude the use of other maximum operating
voltages for an individual system design.

Figure 1 — Generalized VCB component diagram
Figure 2 summarizes the voltage operating ranges and OS of a voltage class B component at its DC voltage
class B terminals. The overvoltage limit, the upper voltage limit and the lower voltage limit are properties of
the component.
Each voltage class B component shall have a voltage range in which it can be operated with its specified
performance (unlimited operating capability). All designated functions, including short-time overload
operations, shall be available. Within this voltage range, the component operates in OS1.
Above a maximum voltage, a component may reduce its performance as specified. This specified voltage is
called the maximum unlimited operating voltage (U ). The component shall provide its upper
max_unlimited_op
limited operating capability until the upper voltage limit (U ) is reached. In this case, the component
upper_limit
operates in OS2.
Above the upper voltage limit (U ), the component may derate or cut-off its performance for self-
upper_limit
protection. The component shall withstand this overvoltage until the overvoltage limit (U ) is
over_limit
reached. In this case, the component operates in OS3 or OS4.
A component shall perform in OS1 until the supply voltage drops to the minimum unlimited operating
voltage (U ). Between the minimum unlimited operating voltage (U ) and the
min_unlimited_op min_unlimited_op
lower voltage limit (U ), the component may reduce its performance as specified. In this case, the
lower_limit
component operates in OS2.
If the supply voltage is below U , the component may derate or cut-off its performance. In this case,
lower_limit
the component operates in OS3 or OS4.

tested in both energy flow directions.

6.2.4  Requirements
The DUT shall stay in OS1 for voltages equal to and in between U and U .

ISO 21498-2:2024(en)
The DUT shall stay in OS2 for a voltage below U , but above or equal to U . After the
min_unlimited_op lower_limit
voltage returns to a level equal to or above U , the DUT shall enter OS1 and the specified
min_unlimited_op
performance shall be obtained again.
The DUT shall stay in OS2 for a voltage above U , but below or equal to U . After the
max_unlimited_op upper_limit
voltage returns to a level equal to or below U , the DUT shall enter OS1 and the specified

performance shall be obtained again.
6.3  Generated voltage slope
6.3.1  Purpose
This test evaluates the generated voltage slope and confirms that it is within a specified maximum rate.
6.3.2  Test setup
For this test, a test setup according to Figure 5 shall be used. The test setup consists of the DUT, a variable
voltage class B DC power supply and an artificial network.
The artificial network emulates the dynamic behaviour of a vehicle power network including the internal
resistance of the battery/batteries. The
