Commercial Vehicle Electric Service Tool Kit

With the increasing number of hybrid and electric commercial vehicles being introduced to the sector, the demand from workshops for correctly insulated tools has grown significantly.

aide automotive have introduced the EV Safe To Service Tool Kit

A hybrid 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.

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.

Mechanics and technicians must use specialised safety equipment when working on these CV’s.

A category III certified digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) is used to test for stray electric current, Non-conductive composite hand tools, such as screwdrivers, wrenches, ratchets, sockets, pliers and cutters, are recommended for those working on hybrid / EV vehicles. Welding tools can act as electromagnets that send power through a hybrid system if it has not been correctly deactivated/disabled.  To neutralize battery leaks a diluted boric acid solution is required.
