Methods and systems for isolating a high voltage continuously producing power source

A high voltage continuously producing power supplying system for supplying high voltage electrical power to an automotive system, the high voltage continuously producing power supply system comprising:

• a plurality of components configured to supply the high voltage electrical power to a load in the automotive system;
• a high voltage power controller configured to receive the high voltage electrical power from the plurality of components,
• wherein the high voltage power controller is configured to detect that a fault state of the automotive system has occurred and whether one or more of the plurality of components is generating a voltage greater than a predetermined threshold value, and when the detected fault state is detected, the high voltage power controller is configured to trigger an electrical isolation device to disconnect only a portion of the one or more of the plurality of components that is generating the voltage greater than the predetermined threshold value from the load of the automotive system such that the one or more of the plurality of components is continuously producing the voltage that is less than the predetermined threshold value;
• and
• the electrical isolation device configured to electrically isolate the one or more of the plurality of components that is generating the voltage greater than the predetermined threshold value by disconnecting only the portion of the one or more of the plurality of components to prevent the one or more of the plurality of components from providing the high voltage electrical power,
• wherein the electrical isolation device is configured to irreversibly disconnect the portion of the one or more of the plurality of components.
