power supply including the vehicle inlet.
         2.9. "C Rate" of "n C" is defined as the constant current of the Tested-DeviceTested-Device, which takes 1/n hours to charge or discharge the Tested-DeviceTested-Device between 0 per cent of the state of charge and 100 per cent of the state of charge.
         2.10. "Direct contact" means the contact of persons with high voltage live parts.
         2.11. "Electric energy conversion system" means a system (e.g. fuel cell) that generates and provides electric energy for electric propulsion.
         2.12. "Electric power train" means the electrical circuit which includes the traction motor(s), and may include the REESS, the electric energy conversion system, the electronic converters, the associated wiring harness and connectors, and the coupling system for charging the REESS.
         2.13. "Electrical chassis" means a set made of conductive parts electrically linked together, whose potential is taken as reference.
         2.14. "Electrical circuit" means an assembly of connected live parts which is designed to be electrically energized in normal operation.
         2.15. "Electrical protection barrier" means the part that provides protection against direct contact with the high voltage live parts.
         2.16. "Electrolyte leakage" means the escape of electrolyte from the REESS in the form of liquid
         2.17. "Electronic converter" means a device capable of controlling and/or converting electric power for electric propulsion.
         2.18. "Enclosure" means the part enclosing the internal units and providing protection against any direct contact.
         2.19. "Explosion" means the sudden release of energy sufficient to cause pressure waves and/or projectiles that may cause structural and/or physical damage to the surrounding of the Tested-DeviceTested-Device.
         2.20. "Exposed conductive part" means the conductive part which can be touched under the provisions of the protection degree IPXXB, and which is not normally energized, but which can become electrically energized under isolation failure conditions. This includes parts under a cover that can be removed without using tools.
         2.21. "External electric power supply" means an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) electric power supply outside of the vehicle.
         2.22. "Fire" means the emission of flames from a Tested-Device. Sparks and arcing shall not be considered as flames.
         2.23. "Flammable electrolyte" means an electrolyte that contains substances classified as Class 3 "flammable liquid" under "UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods – Model Regulations (Revision 17 from June 2011), Volume I, Chapter 2.3"[2]
         2.24. "High Voltage" means the classification of an electric component or circuit, if its working voltage is > 60 V and ≤ 1500 V DC or > 30 V and ≤ 1000 V AC root mean square (rms).
         2.25. "High voltage bus" means the electrical circuit, including the coupling system for charging the REESS that operates on high voltage. In case of electrical circuits, that are galvanically connected to
