At Ajou University in South Korea, the A-FA E-Formula team is developing a high-performance electric formula vehicle as part of its preparation for Formula Student Korea 2026. The project focuses on high-voltage battery systems and electric drivetrain integration, requiring precise engineering work and strict safety control throughout the assembly process.
The team works daily with sensitive electrical and mechanical components that demand accuracy at every stage. In this environment, even minor handling errors can affect both component integrity and overall system reliability.
“Before NOVAX gloves, handling sharp battery parts always made us nervous,” says Yongmin Kwon, Team Leader at Ajou University. “With NOVAX, we feel secure and confident.”
With NOVAX Class 0 Rubber Insulating Gloves, the engineering team is protected against electrical hazards up to 1,000V AC / 1,500V DC during high-voltage battery work. When paired with NOVAX Leather Protector Gloves, an additional layer of mechanical protection is provided, helping reduce the risk of cuts and abrasion caused by sharp battery components and structural parts.
This combined protection system allows the team to carry out assembly and testing procedures with greater confidence, maintaining both precision and efficiency in a high-risk working environment.
To keep everything organized and ready, the team stores their gloves in NOVAX Glove Storage Bags. These ensure that gloves are kept clean, organised, and protected between uses, extending service life and ensuring they are ready for immediate deployment during critical stages of the build process.
Together, these solutions form a practical safety system that supports consistent performance, disciplined workflow, and reduced operational risk during electric vehicle development.
