Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Service and Installation: Safety and Standards

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) service and installation safety and standards course is designed to provide a foundational understanding of the safety and standards for servicing BEVs.

With the increasing popularity of BEVs, the need for qualified technicians who can safely service these vehicles is on the rise. The course will focus on safety standards, regulations, and other BEV industry standards. This course identifies the potential dangers when performing service on high-voltage (HV) systems. The topics covered in this course will enable you to classify proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and identify defects. This is followed by a review of workbay safety procedures and how to identify tools and equipment required for high-voltage (HV) service. You will learn the industry’s standards for differentiating low-voltage, intermediate-voltage, and high-voltage (HV) electrical circuits and the importance of powering down a BEV before servicing.

This module emphasizes the importance of acquiring specialized knowledge and skills for safely servicing battery electric vehicles (BEVs) compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. It addresses the crucial topic of personal protective equipment (PPE) required to safeguard technicians against electrical shock and other hazards associated with the high voltages present in BEVs. Additionally, it provides essential guidance on workbay safety procedures, including the tools and equipment necessary for high-voltage service. Moreover, the module discusses BEV standards for high-voltage safety, de-energizing and re-energizing high-voltage systems, and isolation fault testing to ensure technicians develop an understanding of safety.

Lessons: 

  1. Personal protective Equipment (PPE) for Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Technicians 
  2. Safety Tools and Equipment for High-Voltage (HV) Workbay Safety 
  3. High-Voltage (HV) Workbay Safety for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) 

This module emphasizes the importance of implementing thorough safety protocols when servicing battery electric vehicles (BEVs). It focuses on personal protective equipment (PPE) and workbay safety procedures to protect technicians from electrical shock and other hazards associated with high voltages. Key industry standards and regulations governing BEV high-voltage (HV) systems are discussed. This module also discusses the voltages encountered in BEV HV systems and the significance of understanding voltage levels to assess risks and implement appropriate safety measures. Additionally, it covers the importance of de-energizing HV systems before servicing and provides guidance on when and how to de-energize these systems safely. This module covers isolation fault testing, including components where isolation faults occur, necessary PPE, tools, and equipment for testing, and the steps involved in conducting isolation fault testing to ensure system integrity and technician safety.
