PICO Kit for electric cars, hybrids – 4 channels, 4425A – PQ196

Description

Diagnostic kit for electric and hybrid vehicles PQ196

The PQ196 kit allows the diagnosis of electric, hybrid and internal combustion engine vehicles. This exciting new kit provides the necessary measurement tools for working with high and low voltage systems, including insulation testing. It is based on the market-leading PicoScope 4425A oscilloscope with PicoBNC+® technology and is supported by the all-new EV Guided tests in PicoScope 7 Automotive software.

What does the kit include?

• PicoScope 4425A oscilloscope with PicoBNC+
• 3 x PicoBNC+ 2000A current clamps
• 4 x PicoBNC+ premium test leads
• Active HV differential probe
• PicoBNC+ oscilloscope probe x10
• PicoBNC+ resistance cable
• PicoBNC+ COP probe
• PicoBNC+ 60 A clamps
• Pico insulation tester with PC connection
• Pico bipolar voltage tester at 0 V potential

Electric vehicle testing

The role of electric vehicles (EVs) is becoming increasingly important in the drive to make better use of clean and renewable energy and reduce harmful emissions and particulate matter. The topic of EVs is now so widely discussed and investment in their development so high that every workshop needs to be aware of the growing need to service EVs. Pico works with partners and customers to ensure that workshops can operate as safely, efficiently and effectively with EVs as they do with internal combustion engines (ICEs)

PicoScope supports all technologies

As a workshop focused on growing and maintaining a profitable customer base, fast and accurate diagnostics are essential as older vehicles are used for longer and new technologies become more popular in new car sales. PicoScope supports your ‘fix-it’ culture, resulting in fewer parts being replaced based on guesswork and increasing customer satisfaction, repeat business and profits.

What do we diagnose with the Pico EV kit?

The new free Pico 7 software includes tests conducted not only for internal combustion vehicles but also dedicated to electric and hybrid cars. Among other things, it includes tests on:

• DC HV power system, AC motor/generator drive system
• Charging and current sharing problems with 12 V / HV batteries
• CP / PP communication between charging system and vehicle
• Three-phase current measurements to check winding balance under load
• All 12 V and 48 V systems.

Please note that you should only work on high voltage systems in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines and procedures. You should be properly trained and equipped with the appropriate personal protective equipment.
