With this 4th updated edition of the specialist book 'Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
– Technology, maintenance, testing work’, Torsten Schmidt presents the current one
State of the art and integrates the handling of high-voltage systems in workshop practice.
At the beginning of the work, Schmidt provides corresponding definitions of terms
to devote to the automotive technical aspects in the following chapters.
General explanations on the different hybrid concepts follow in detail
Explanations about the different types of powertrain topologies.
Included
Schmidt complements theoretical aspects with practical examples. Additionally
explained
he how the respective drive system works and shows structural differences
on. The structure and mode of operation of the high-voltage system as a whole
also takes up a lot of space – supplemented by individual considerations of the most important ones
HV components.
In the practical part of the book, Schmidt addresses the maintenance and repair of
high-voltage vehicles. Topics such as activating the HV system, dealing with
high-voltage batteries
in everyday workshop work and towing away a vehicle that has been involved in an accident,
are in focus. The chapters on the topic of air conditioning service, on measurement strategies
insulation monitoring, 48 V mild hybrids and fuel cell vehicles,
Schmidt revised it extensively. New chapter on the leakage test on HV batteries
and on safety devices in hybrid and electric vehicles as well as a look at
the future, complete the book.
