High Voltage Courses
This is an intermediate training programme that requires a basic level of electrical knowledge. Upon successful completion of the course, candidates will be able to enter high voltage switchrooms and perform limited switching operations, etc, on high voltage equipment. They would not be permitted/authorised to issue electrical safety documentation such as Permits to Work or Sanctions for Test. (The S1 course progresses to the S4 course, if more advanced training is required).
This course is designed for electrical and non-electrical personnel with no previous experience of electrical HV power systems, who require substation/switchroom access for defined duties (not HV) within the substation/switchroom. Persons who would benefit from this course are those who require to work near to or around electrical power equipment, but not actually working on the electrical systems directly. The course covers the safety requirements for working adjacent to electrical equipment, electrical hazards and precautions and the arrangement of equipment within the substation or switchroom, in addition to safety procedures, understanding of key safes and isolok systems and steps to be taken in an emergency.
This is a refresher programme designed for personnel who have limited high voltage authorisation. Limited authorisation is taken to be authorisation for work on single ended circuits, such as motor drives. It is not intended to cover refreshers for persons carrying out work on distribution systems which include transformers, feeders or ring main systems.
This is an advanced training programme that 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.
This is an advanced training programme that requires a good foundation of electrical knowledge. It is designed to refresh the knowledge, skills and experience of the candidates relating to safe practices and legislation within the high voltage and electrical safety industry.
This is a practical programme designed to assess candidates' safe switching practices when operating on high voltage power systems. It is intended for candidates requiring independent external assessment of their level of competence.
This is an advanced training programme that 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. The course is a marine/ offshore development from our S4 course.
is an advanced training programme that requires a good foundation of electrical knowledge and experience of high voltage switching.
This course is designed for candidates involved in the management and operation of marine/offshore high voltage power systems requiring an understanding of the principles of power generation and high voltage distribution system and how to safe control and manage abnormal situations such as power failure and emergencies. The course also introduces the safe operation of high voltage system but it does not authorise participants to carry out high voltage switching operations (see MAR4 course).
The course is intended to provide theoretical and practical instruction on the maintenance and repair of HV/LV switchgear of various types.
