SAFE HANDLING OF HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY SYSTEMS
Electric and hybrid vehicles are becoming more visible on today’s roadways and the automotive companies are working hard to make these vehicles as transparent as possible to enhance consumer acceptance. With practically no moving parts the battery systems show no visible or audible warning of any latent dangers. This seminar introduces you to the risks encountered in handling high voltage battery systems and their component parts. With the understanding of these risks, the seminar addresses how to raise risk awareness and methods of dealing with those risks. The outcome of this seminar is improved avoidance of personal injury, reduced risk of reputation loss and product liability actions, and reduced risk of loss of property and time. You will have an opportunity to participate in a real world battery handling case study scenario in which you will identify solutions for potential risk situations. The SAE seminar, “Introduction to Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Battery Systems” (I.D.# C0626) is recommended as a prerequisite for this course. See course description on page 64. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Identify the handling risks of the battery system • Respect the risks and work with them • Develop a safety program to manage the risks WHO SHOULD ATTEND This seminar is primarily intended for vehicle and battery, battery system integration, battery testing, safety systems, electrical, and thermal management engineers recently assigned to their roles or returning to hybrid or electric vehicle programs. It will also be beneficial to those involved in the specification, design, development, testing and planning of hybrid vehicle programs. Prototype shop staff will find the safety protocol aspects helpful.
The battery system forms a key part of any electric or hybrid vehicle and is probably the least understood.
