Hybrid Safety Kit Components


North Tech Systems cable cutters unique design provide the cutting power of bolt cutters with the compact design of side cutters. The cable cutters are insulated to meet California safety regulations.




High Voltage gloves with leather protectors are provided to safely disarm the high-voltage system manually. The gloves with leather protectors ensure the Emergency responder meets OSHA regulations.





Some Hybrid require the use of tools to access the high-voltage disconnect or high-voltage fuses. The Hybrid Safety Kit includes insulated hand tools to manually disconnect current model Hybrids in a safe manner and meet OSHA regulations.  All tools are Composite.  Manufactured from braided, military grade fiberglass composite over a tough polymer core, Composite Tools combine the latest in space age materials technology with traditional heat treated steel tips. the composite concept was to take advantage of the inherent non-conductive, high strength, and light weight properties of composite materials to transmit torque and leverage to the working end of the tool. This technology allowed for the total elimination of insulating coatings that become nicked, cut, or torn due to normal use. Built much like a Hot Stick if kept clean and dry, there is no conductive path back to the user’s hand. Consequently, the danger of flash over or a potential electrocution is significantly reduced.  

Benefits of Composite Tools include:

-Inherent safety - the insulating properties are built into the tool, not coated onto it

- Lightweight

- Better balanced

-Exceeds ASME torque standards

-Exceeds the strength of the proper fastener





In the event of a suspected NiMH electrolyte leak, place one of the test strips in the suspected leak area . If the test strip turns blue there is NiMH electrolyte solution present. The leak needs to be diluted with a solution provided in the kit. If leak is present, use caution. The NiMH electrolyte has a ph of 13.5 and is harmful to skin



In the event of a NiMH leak, it is possible to dilute the NiMH electrolyte to safe levels. Use the expandable jug with premeasured powder to dilute NiMH electrolyte.Fill the provided jug with water and shake well to mix the solution. Pour the mixture directly on the spill to dilute.  It is suggested to retest the diluted area with the test strips to confirm the spill is safe.  

 

The Voltage Armor is a 1000V insulated blanket provided as an extra layer of protection for the Emergency Responder. The blanket can be used while manually dis arming the High voltage system or after the system has been disarmed while the capacitors are discharging.  The electrical insulating rubber shielding is engineered to protect personnel, equipment, and work areas from electrical hazards up to 7,500 volts. The shielding is flame, oil, ozone, and puncture resistant, remains flexible to -60° F, and will not melt.
