Course Aim

This course is specifically designed for those people who may encounter Electric Hybrid vehicles within a routine maintenance situation. It also contains the knowledge and skills required to work safely around a vehicle that may have had damage to its high energy/electrical system.
This qualification offers an introduction to this specialised industry sector which will enable technicians to continue to work safely within their role.

Technicians will gain knowledge of both low and high voltage technologies and an understanding of the dangers surrounding Electric Hybrid vehicles and the precautions to take to avoid potential injury to themselves and others.

Course Objective

The content of this qualification has been designed to give the technicians the knowledge and skills required to work safely on Electric Hybrid vehicles whilst carrying out routine maintenance and repair activities. It does not cover working on the High Voltage components or system.

The course contains one mandatory unit covering knowledge of:

• Electric Hybrid vehicle system components and operation

• Hazards surrounding Electric Hybrid Vehicles

• How to reduce the risks to yourself and others when working on electric hybrid vehicles

• Safely preparing the vehicle when carrying out routine maintenance (NOT high voltage components or systems)

• Know the correct procedures required prior to removing and/or replacing high energy electrical system components

• Know how to correctly isolate and re-connect live high energy electrical supplies such as batteries, capacitors and motors

• Know the levels of current and voltage that present a hazard and describe the effects of alternating and direct current on humans

• Know and demonstrate the appropriate methods to isolate safely the high energy electrical system and carry out a safe method to re-instate the vehicle following the manufacturer’s instructions

• Know the correct method of connection of an alternative power source (if permissible) to an electrically propelled/hybrid vehicle for the purpose of jump starting and/or charging the vehicle

• Be able to work safely on an Electric Hybrid vehicle

Notes

This course only provides the knowledge and skills required to work on non-live high energy electrical components and associated systems.
Technicians should have a good level of electrical understanding but this does not prove someone is competent to work on the high energy electrical system and does not enable a candidate to dismantle ‘live’ components such as battery packs.

This course does not cover commercial or domestic electrical installations.
