Awareness of the Operation of High Voltage Power Systems (S2)
Introduction
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.Participants
