| 摘要： | Ahybrid or all-electric commercial vehicle operates at high voltage -typically around 600V, or around 25 times higher than the 24V of a conventional truck or bus. For example, the Dennis Eagle eCollect refuse collection vehicle operates at 406V to 605V DC, with five 600V batteries each rated at 60kWh capacity. Yet voltages as low as 50V can be lethal, either due to direct causes (heart attack, internal burns or other muscle damage) or indirectly (for example, a fall). Even lower voltages can cause sparks which may result in fire or explosion.Clearly, while we may have become blase about the considerable hazards of internal-combustion vehicles, there is no excuse to ignore electrical dangers.The training bodies have responded with specific schemes for EVs: the IMI has an established a three-level set of qualifications for those working with smaller EVs (cars and vans), and last year worked with the IRTE to add an EV module to the irtec vehicle technician qualification (see box). |
