AUTC220 — Hybrid/Electric Vehicles
AUTC 220 - Hybrid/Electric Vehicles AUTC 220 - Hybrid/Electric Vehicles (1,3) 2 Credits This course provides an overview of the hybrid (HEV) & electric (EV) vehicles and prepares students for the ASE L3 exam. Training will cover multiple types and operation of hybrid and electric vehicles, motor/generator operation with experiments and animations, battery management systems, drive systems, power electronics including inverters, DC to AC conversion and safe handling of HV systems, internal combustion engines, and instructor fault insertion included for trouble shooting the system. In the lab, students will learn a hands-on strategy to perform diagnosis, maintenance, and repair of the (H)EV. Tasks include isolation procedure and voltage measurement, measurements of real high voltage to understand electric motors, fault finding and diagnostics with real world faults such as insulation resistance measurement, resolver/motor positioner, energy flows in series, parallel, series-parallel, fuel cell and pure electric vehicles, high voltage capacitors found in EVs, & charging connections..
