Fundamentals of the Safe Operation of High Voltage Power Systems (S4)

Introduction

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.

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 network and to prepare them for HV authorisation in accordance with their companies' safety regulations.
