Principles of the Safe Operation of Marine/Offshore High Voltage Power Systems (MAR5)

Introduction

is an advanced training programme that requires a good foundation of electrical knowledge and experience of high voltage switching.

Participants

Electrical engineers, electrical officers and contractor?s electrical engineers, responsible for the design, construction, commissioning and operation of marine/offshore electrical power systems, and to be responsible for switching and the issue of safety documents.

Aim

This course has been developed to meet requirements of I.M.C.A. (International Maritime Contractors Association) and other organisations, in the safe operation of high voltage systems in marine/offshore applications (HV systems not control systems) This course is more advanced course than the MAR4 course and includes a wider range of technical aspects with less emphasis on switching operations.
