Introduction to the Safe Operation of Marine High Voltage Power Systems in Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs)

Course Code: MAR2

Introduction

This is an intermediate training programme that requires a basic level of electrical knowledge. Upon successful completion of the course, candidates will be able to enter the electrical compartments of ROV systems to carry out service operations. The course will provide candidates with information about the safety procedures required to ensure that the high voltage systems are isolated, proved dead and earthed. (The MAR 2 course progresses to the MAR1 course, if more advanced training is required.)

Participants

Electrical/non electrical personnel required to carry out service and maintenance operations on ROV electrical equipment.

Aim

To introduce personnel to the basic concept of the safe operation of high voltage electrical power systems which are embedded in ROV systems. On successful completion of the course candidates are expected to be able to work safely in the ROV electrical environment.
