Advanced Hybrid Automotive Systems

<p>This book contains a wide array of automotive hybrid applications. Emphasis is placed on a practical approach with the theory to back it up as well. It is however expected that the technician already has a basic understanding of automobiles and electronics in general. The text is also a great companion to in class training. With that in mind learn and enjoy.<br><br>Advanced HYBRID Vehicle Systems<br>(vol 1) Including Toyota & Honda models<br><br>By Mandy Concepcion<br><br>Table of Contents<br><br>CHAPTER 1 (Hybrid Basics and Safety Procedures)<br><br>The Need for Hybrid Systems<br>Hybrid Do's and Dont's<br>Here are some definite do's<br>Hybrid basics and safety procedures<br>Hybrid power down procedure and deactivation<br>High voltage measurement and equipment<br>Humidity and high-voltage<br><br>CHAPTER 2 (Hybrid Aerodynamics and Low Friction Tires)<br><br>Low friction components and non-belt driven coolant pump and air conditioning compressor<br>The AC system<br>EPS system or electric power steering<br>Replacement of the actual electric motor<br>Performing a zero rest procedure<br><br>CHAPTER 3 (Advanced Electronics for Hybrids)<br><br>The dangers of amperage and High Current Circuits<br>Current measurements using an electromagnetic probe (clamp on)<br>Voltage measurement on hybrid vehicles (advanced concepts)<br>Measure the high voltage circuit at the orange cables after a power down procedure<br>The Dropping Resistors<br><br>CHAPTER 4 (Basic Electric Motor and Power Generation)<br><br>Principle of Induction<br>Electric Motors and Electric Alternating Current<br>The DC Electric Motor<br>The AC Electric Motor<br>Important facts about electric hybrid motor generator units<br>Typical hybrid motor generator<br>Dangers of Inverter Internal Capacitors<br>Motor Commutation Plates<br>Hybrid Motor Position Sensor<br>Motor control techniques<br>Difference between a hybrid vehicle electrical motor and a regular AC motor<br>The TRIAC and IGBT (Isolated Gate Bipolar Transistor)<br>Hybrid Regenerative Breaking<br><br>CHAPTER 5 (AC and DC Power Units of Measurements)<br><br>Frequency measurements<br>Phase Measurement<br>Voltage Measurements<br>Using a Clamp-On AMP Probe<br>The 3 Phases of a HYBRID Motor (U V W)<br>The Inverter Unit on the Prius<br>DC Brushless Motors<br><br>CHAPTER 6 (basic battery technology)<br><br>The nickel metal hydride battery<br>The lithium ion battery<br>Toyota Prius high Voltage battery<br>Ultra-Capacitors<br>V R L A or variable regulation lead acid battery<br><br><br>CHAPTER 7 (The 6 Hybrid Modes of Operation)<br><br>HYBRID Computer System Control<br>Light Acceleration Mode<br>Regenerative Breaking Mode<br>Deceleration Mode<br>Normal Driving Mode<br>STOP Mode<br>M1's Biggest Contribution to the HYBRID Unit<br><br>CHAPTER 8 (Parallel and Series Hybrid Systems)<br><br>Series hybrid system<br>Series parallel and series/parallel hybrid<br>Inverter Power Management<br>Parallel hybrid system<br>Parallel/Series hybrid system<br>Toyota motor Co. and AISIN<br><br>CHAPTER 9 (The Prius CVT or continuously variable transmission)<br><br>THS or hybrid synergy Drive<br>Transmission Planetary Gears<br>Key point to understanding the way this transmission works<br>HONDA CVT Transmission<br>Honda's Cylinder Deactivation<br>Honda's Electric Balancing<br><br>CHAPTER 10 (Toyota specific hybrid system)<br><br>Specific concepts on the Toyota hybrid<br>Problems with the Coolant Pump<br>Gas Tank Rubber Bladder<br>Car Off AC System<br>The Scanner and the HYBRID System<br>High Voltage Battery<br>MG1 and MG2 Power Output<br>The Toyota auxiliary 12 V battery<br>How to Jump Start a HYBRID<br>A Word About Toyota's Keyless Entry<br>Dangers of Electric Mode Driving<br><br>CHAPTER 11 (Honda specific hybrid system)<br><br>The Honda hybrid system is vastly different than that of Toyota<br>HONDA Hybrid is a Simpl...</p>
