This course covers the knowledge and skills required to depower and reinitialise battery electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). It involves ensuring that the vehicle's high voltage (HV) rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) is isolated before commencing any service or repair work and calibrating vehicle systems that may need resetting once the energy storage systems is reinitialised. In this course, importance is placed on applying RESS and separated extra low voltage (SELV) electrical safety procedures.
This course is most suited to people already working in the automotive industry who wish to upskill in the area of electric vehicles.
As a safety requirement, persons who have a medical device, such as a pacemaker, susceptible to magnetic interference, should not undertake this course.
