High-Voltage (HV) Level 1 


The high-voltage (HV) level 1 course qualifies participants for the safe operation of electric vehicles and for work on high-voltage vehicles. Work on the high-voltage system itself or on high-voltage components is excluded. Participants gain an understanding of the structure and function of high-voltage components and are familiarized with the installation position and marking of high-voltage components. In addition, the participants are informed about the non-observance of the regulations and the associated possible electrical hazards, e.g. dangerous body flow or arcing.


Scope
Includes two online learning units

Content of the training
In accordance with DGUV I 209-093 

Electrical hazards and protective measures

  • Operating vehicles and associated equipment (e.g. test benches)
  • Performing general activities that do not require the HV system to be disconnected
  • Positioning and labeling HV components and cables in and on the vehicle
  • Carrying out all mechanical activities on the vehicle ("Hands off orange!")
  • Decommissioning the HV system, activating the operational isolation/emergency shutdown as an additional safety measure
  • Unauthorized work on the vehicle
  • Stop work if it is unclear and inform the responsible high-voltage expert 
  • Organizational procedure for work on HV components carried out under the direction and supervision of a responsible electrician


Requirements
