Fundamentals of the Safe Operation of Marine/Offshore High Voltage Power Systems
Course code: MAR4/OS4
This course is accredited by Teesside University and is worth 30 credits. Candidates successfully complete the course and assessment will receive a Teesside University 'UCPD' certificate ... read more
Introduction
This training programme requires a good foundation of electrical knowledge. It is designed to bring candidates up to a "Senior Authorised" level. However, the course does not provide the 'authorisation' itself. The course is a marine/ offshore development from our S4 course.
Participants
Marine/offshore personnel with a prior knowledge of the inspection, operation, maintenance, and repair of high voltage systems and who are to be responsible for switching and issue of safety documents (such as electrical permits to work).
Aim
To improve the understanding of HV/LV power systems including statutory regulations, safe operation, protection, maintenance and fault diagnosis on a wide range of marine/ offshore power equipment. Also to enable candidates to perform HV switching operations on marine offshore power equipment and to prepare them for HV authorisation in accordance with their companies' safety rules/regulations.
