AU3. 401 EV/Hybrid AC/DC Theory and Systems Operation
Builds knowledge of Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) operation and design by taking a deeper dive into the theory and application of Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC) and its use in high voltage and low voltage vehicle systems. Students will learn to identify AC/DC components, understand how vehicle systems convert and utilize AC/DC and perform diagnostics and servicing of AC and DC components.
Prerequisite
Prerequisite: Completion of first year of Automotive Technology AAS or completion of Maintenance and Light Repair (MLR) Certificate
Notes
