Electrical Pressure Testing
Course code: T1
Introduction
This course covers theoretical and practical training of the principles of electrical pressure testing of HV distribution systems, including the different insulating materials characteristics as well as the methods used to enable the pressure testing of high voltage equipment, including cables, switchgear, transformers and motors with emphasis placed upon safety requirements and interpretation of test results.
Participants
Authorised electrical engineers/technicians responsible for carrying out high voltage pressure testing or those with a responsibility for supervising personnel who carry out high voltage pressure tests. It is recommended that candidates should be authorised to receive sanction for test documents before taking this course (see S8 course.
Aim
To cover the theoretical and practical aspects of electrically testing the insulation integrity of power cables, switchgear, transformers, motors etc.
