Introduction

This course is designed for candidates involved in the management and operation of marine/offshore high voltage power systems requiring an understanding of the principles of power generation and high voltage distribution systems up to and including 15kV and how to safely control and manage abnormal situations such as power failures and emergencies.  The course also gives candidates an awareness of the safe operation of high voltage systems.

Participants

Marine/offshore personnel responsible for the safe control and management of high voltage power systems.

Aim

To give participants an understanding of the functional, operational and safety requirements of marine and offshore high voltage systems. And the remedial action necessary during system faults.
