Fundamentals of the Safe Operation of Marine/Offshore High Voltage Power Systems (MAR4)

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. The course is a marine/ offshore development from our S4 course.

Participants

Marine/offshore personnel with a prior knowledge of the inspection, operation, maintenance, and repair of electrical power systems and who are to be responsible for switching and issue of safety documents (such as electrical permits to work).

Aim

To improve the understanding of HV/LV power systems including statutory regulations, safe operation, protection, maintenance and fault diagnosis on a wide range of marine/ offshore 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.
