The Hybrid Planetary Gearset Training Kit (EM-200-29_053137) is an engaging educational tool designed to teach the complex operation of a typical hybrid vehicle drivetrain, based on the Toyota Prius hybrid system. This trainer focuses on the planetary gearset, also known as the power-split device, allowing students to manually simulate and visualize all driveline components including the internal combustion engine (ICE), motor/generator #1 (MG1), motor/generator #2 (MG2), and drive wheels. By using hand cranks to rotate, hold, or release elements, learners can actively demonstrate eight key operational modes, gaining a clear understanding of how hybrid systems function in real vehicles.

This hands-on approach makes abstract concepts tangible, enabling students to observe component interactions, direction changes like MG1 rotation reversal, and even diagnostic scenarios such as simulating MG1 failure. Ideal for automotive training programs, the kit enhances comprehension of hybrid drivetrains that are often inaccessible in actual vehicles, preparing technicians for real-world applications.

Industry-Driven Features

• Demonstrates the operation of ICE, MG1, MG2, and drive wheels in all vehicle modes found in industry
• Students manually rotate, hold, or release components using hand cranks to simulate driveline operation essential for industry-standard training
• Serves as a significant tool for understanding complex hybrid drivetrain operation using a power split device as found in industry
• Visible major hybrid drivetrain components, which are typically inaccessible in the vehicle, for real-world diagnostics
• Operation diagram on the trainer indicates the status of each component during operational modes to develop key skills
• Supports diagnostic scenarios, such as simulating MG1 failure
• Components react as they do in the vehicle, including changes in MG1 rotation direction
• Operational modes including electric drive – light acceleration & low speed (stealth mode), engine start, hybrid drive – normal driving, hybrid drive – high speed cruise or full throttle acceleration, hybrid drive – high speed energy recirculation, coasting & regenerative braking, electric drive reverse
