Tech Tips: Belt-Driven Versus High-Voltage AC Compressors in EVs

Sept. 16, 2024

Understanding the differences between belt-driven low-voltage A/C compressors and high-voltage compressors found in hybrid and electric vehicles.

This Tech Tips video, brought to you by Robinair, will provide the distinctions between traditional belt-driven low-voltage A/C compressors and the high-voltage compressors found in electric vehicles (EVs). We will discuss the differences and how to go about servicing and diagnosing inoperative clutch devices. We will also briefly discuss variable displacement compressors but will reference a more in-depth video covering this here: youtu.be/sDaOKh6rE3A?si=bi5Biqo0nGluPBVd
