Practical Introduction to the Safe Operation of High and Low Voltage Switchgear

Course code: S9

Introduction

This course is designed specifically for individuals with little or no previous experience in high voltage switching. It focuses on the practical (hands-on) element of switching and is predominately workshop rather than classroom based. This course should be undertaken as a pre-curser to the S4 and MAR4 'full authorisation' courses

Participants

Electrical/non-electrical personnel who require practical (hands-on) experience of switching high and low voltage switchgear prior to undertaking future authorisation courses.

Aim

To introduce personnel to the fundamental concepts of high voltage switching to enable them to familiarise themselves with operational protocols and potential physical constraints prior to receiving full authorisation training.

Outline Contents

• Operational procedures
• Single end drive motor isolations
• 11/3.3kV and 11/0.415kV transformer isolations
• Ring mains and ring mains unit

• Circuit main earth application protocols
• Additional earth application protocols
• Dependant power operations
• Independent power operations
• Stored energy operations
• Electrical safety documents
• Key safes and Multi Hasp locking (Isolok) systems
• Abridged high voltage safety rules

Certification

Candidates will receive a Faraday "Attendance" certificate which should be produced when attending a full authorisation course at a later date.
