Course Description:
Elevate your understanding of high-voltage systems with the High-Voltage Awareness Level 2 self-paced online course. Building on the foundation established in Level 1, this course is designed for mechanics seeking high-voltage qualification to work on Zero-Emission Bus (ZEB) systems and Electric Vehicle Support Equipment (EVSE). This advanced course uses detailed lessons and practical exercises to enhance your ability to work safely around ZEBs. You will learn to identify critical high-voltage components, understand safety systems, and create an electrically safe work condition that complies with industry standards.
Number of Hours/Days:
- 2 hours online over a 3-week period
In this course, participants will:
- Identify and describe the operations and functions of critical high-voltage components within a ZEB
- Explain how electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy for vehicle propulsion
- Differentiate between vehicle safety systems used in ZEBs
- Evaluate the purpose, capabilities, and ratings of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) used for high-voltage tasks
- Recall how Restricted, Limited, and Arc Flash boundaries protect personnel from electrical hazards
- Describe how Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and testing for the absence of voltage create an electrically safe work condition
Course Benefits:
- Advanced Safety Knowledge: Enhance your understanding of high-voltage systems and the safety measures required to work on them
- Safety Procedures: Gain practical knowledge of Lockout/Tagout and testing for the absence of voltage, ensuring compliance with safety protocols
- Critical Component Identification: Identify and explain the functions of key high-voltage components, essential for effective diagnostics and repair
- PPE Proficiency: Develop a thorough understanding of PPE ratings and their applications, ensuring you are adequately protected on the job
- Industry-Standard Training: Receive training based on the principles of OSHA 1910 and the latest edition of NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, ensuring you are equipped with up-to-date knowledge
Compliance:
- HV Qualified Mechanics are required to take and pass this course every 3 years. The course may be required sooner than the 3-year mark depending on significant changes, including:
- Introduction of new vehicle model(s)
- New technology or types of equipment
- Technical Service Bulletins or engineering changes
- Updates or changes to Electrical Safety Program, Emergency Response Plan, or Standard Operating Procedures
