Course code: S4 - Full authorisation
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, since this must be issued by the owner of the plant.
Candidates may find it beneficial to attend our S9 course, 'Practical Introduction to the Safe Operation of High & Low Voltage Switchgear', as a pre-cursor to this course.
Participants
Personnel with a prior knowledge of the inspection, operation, maintenance, and repair of electrical power systems and who are to be responsible, as authorised/senior authorised person, for switching and issue of safety documents (e.g. electrical permits to work).
Aim
To improve the understanding of HV/LV power systems including statutory regulations, safe operation, protection and fault diagnosis on a wide range of power equipment. Also to enable candidates to perform HV switching operations on HV networks and to prepare them for HV authorisation in accordance with their companies' safety regulations.
