Intervention Kit for Hybrid and Electrical Cars

The equipment used in this kit is designed for invention electrical work on both hybrid and electrical cars The equipment used in the Hybrid Safe To Service Tool Kit is designed for invention electrical work on both hybrid and electrical cars. The use of electric and hybrid vehicles (E&HVs) is increasing. The recovery, repair, and maintenance of these vehicles outside the manufacturers and franchised dealership networks is increasing. People in the motor vehicle repair and recovery industry are now more likely to come across E&HVs and as a result need to be aware of the additional hazards they may be exposed to when working with these vehicles. They may also need to develop a wider range of skills and knowledge and have access to specialist tools and equipment in order to be able to work safely. Voltages present in E&HVs are significantly higher (currently up to 650 Volts direct current (dc)) than those used in other vehicles (12/24 Volts dc). In dry conditions, accidental contact with parts that are live at voltages above 110 Volts dc can be fatal. For E&HVs dc voltages between 60 and 1500 Volts are referred to as ‘high voltage’. This terminology is used in this guidance although high voltage is defined differently in other industry sectors. Battery systems may contain chemicals that can be harmful if released. They also store significant amounts of energy that can give rise to explosion if not dealt with correctly. There are substantial differences in the designs of E&HVs from different manufacturers. Having information specific to the manufacturer and the vehicle being worked on is important in identifying what actions are necessary to work safely. Risks of working with E&HVs E&HVs introduce hazards into the workplace in addition to those normally associated with the repair and maintenance of vehicles, roadside recovery and other vehicle related activities. These include: the presence of high voltage components and cabling capable of delivering a fatal electric shock. the storage of electrical energy with the potential to cause explosion or fire. components that may retain a dangerous voltage even when a vehicle is switched off. electric motors or the vehicle itself that may move unexpectedly due to magnetic forces within the motors. manual handling risks associated with battery replacement. the potential for the release of explosive gases and harmful liquids if batteries are damaged or incorrectly modified. the possibility of people being unaware of vehicles moving as when electrically driven they are silent in operation. the potential for the electrical systems on the vehicle to affect medical devices such as pacemakers. aide automotive’s Hybrid Vehicle Service Tool Kit is ideal for servicing and general maintenance of Hybrid vehicles systems.
