Introduction to the Safe Operation of High Voltage Power Systems
Course code: S1 - Limited High Voltage Authorisation
Introduction
This training programme requires a basic level of electrical knowledge. Upon successful completion of the course, subject to client approval, candidates will be able to enter high voltage switchrooms and perform limited switching operations, etc, on high voltage equipment. Normally they would be permitted to issue limited safety documents e.g. isolation documents, but not to issue permits to work, sanction for test etc.
Participants
Electrical/non-electrical personnel required to carry out restricted HV switching operations with limited safety document issuing responsibilities.
Aim
To introduce personnel to the basic concept of electrical power systems to enable them to enter substations/switchrooms, carry out restricted switching operations, monitor the performance and condition of the system (including relay operation) in a safe and competent manner. The course is intended to provide knowledge and awareness of limited safety document issuing responsibilities.
