ELEC202 - Isolation/lockout and re-energising of Automotive Electric Vehicles​

ELEC202 Course Summary

This is a level 3 course.

ESP units at Level 3 cover core and foundational aspects of a topic to provide an introduction and overview of a topic. Units are accessible to learners who have studied STEM subjects at this or lower levels, but are also suitable for learners with higher level qualifications in other STEM areas/disciplines seeking an introduction to emerging technologies.

Knowledge : Has factual, procedural and theoretical knowledge and understanding of a subject or field of work to complete tasks and address problems that while well-defined, may be complex and non-routine. Can interpret and evaluate relevant information and ideas. Is aware of the nature of the area of study or work. Is aware of different perspectives or approaches within the area of study or work.

Skills : Identify, select and use appropriate cognitive and practical skills, methods and procedures to address problems that while well-defined, may be complex and non-routine. Use appropriate investigation to inform actions. Review how effective methods and actions have been.

The learning outcomes for this unit include:

• With the use of ‘electrified’ vehicles growing, this course will give the attendee an awareness of how to carry out the isolation and lockout of a high voltage automotive system. Providing health and safety education in the safe use of automotive high voltage systems is absolutely paramount.

• This training module deals with the safe use, handling and operation of the energising system, the attendee will be able to understand the two systems in use (both 12v and HV – High Voltage) and be able to safely approach and isolate both systems.

• The attendee will also demonstrate how to re-energise the systems once any work has been carried out.
