Funny training question

[Titus]

I was taking the S/P2 Mechanical Safety training and a quiz question in the Hybrid Electric Vehicle Safety section struck me as very amusing...

Q) What is the proper procedure for testing hybrid electric service gloves before use?

Option C- Fill the gloves with water and check for leaks.

:badteeth: good one.

I would say put them on, if you get a shock move to the next pair :bounce: Just curious, what answer did you pick?

We use a variation of that to test rubber gloves for linesmen in the electrical utility I work for.The gloves get filled with water and put in a tank of water.Wires are put in the glove and the tank and current applied,if any current flows from the glove wire to the tank wire the glove fails.There is a surprising number that fail out of the box,hence the rigorous testing.

That was actually one of the choices. The correct answer is to blow air into the glove and roll it up tight to see if any air leaks out. The filling it up with water answer was particularly amusing given that the training notes several times that you should not use gloves that are at all wet.

Shows you how much I know -- I would have chosen "C", but would have let them dry off first :lol_hitti

Or, filled them with air and then submerged them partially in water

In the Toyota Hybrid Vehicles course, the instructor joked about the testing procedure for the service plug (which will disconnect the 440V DC battery from the rest of the vehicle).

"Throw a wrench across the terminals. If it doesn't vaporize, the service plug removal did the trick, and you may now work on the inverter safely."

And he's not really exaggerating. That's a crapload of juice.

I hate doing Prius hybrid batteries. Done two, and had to be very slow and meticulous, since I like having two fully functioning arms.

How much does that job run?
