This course is specifically designed towards a person that maybe required to work on an Electrically propelled/Hybrid vehicle and in particular the safety procedures and requirements of these types of technologies. Suitable for Technicians carrying out routine maintenance and repairs in or around Electrical/Hybrid propulsion systems, this course would enable the delegate to have an understanding of the Construction, function and layout of these types of vehicles along with the methods to ensure the systems are safe to work on the to minimise the risks to self and others. Level 3: This course is specifically designed to cover all aspects of Hybrid/Electrically Propelled Technology. Covering the basic procedures of safety in handling High Voltage systems through to content that looks at in depth on how the Propulsion and Re-Generation system is controlled. Along with the management of the Inverter power unit, a thorough understanding of Battery management and how information is used to maximize the efficiency of the system will be gained. Other subjects covered include High Voltage Air- Conditioning compressors, DC-DC Converters, PTC Heater assemblies along with high pressure hydraulic braking systems and the management between conventional braking and regeneration braking balance. Suitable for Technicians carrying out repairs and replacement of Hybrid/Electrically Propelled HV components. This is a practical course held in a workshop environment, work boot and work wear will be required
