Principles of the Safe Operation of Marine/Offshore High Voltage Power Systems
Course code: MAR5
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 is an advanced training programme that requires a good foundation of electrical knowledge and experience of high voltage switching.
Participants
Electrical engineers, electrical officers and contract electrical engineering staff, responsible for the design, construction, commissioning and operation of marine/offshore electrical power systems, and to be responsible for switching and the issue of safety documents.
Aim
This course has been developed to meet requirements of the I.M.C.A. (International Maritime Contractors Association) and other organisations, in the safe operation of high voltage systems in marine/offshore applications (HV systems not control systems). This course is a more advanced course than the MAR4 course and includes a wider range of technical aspects with less emphasis on switching operations.
