The Control & Management of Offshore & Marine High Voltage Power Systems (MAR6)
Introduction
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).Participants
Non-electrical personnel responsible for the safe control and management of high voltage power systems in a marine or offshore environment.Aim
To give participants an understanding of the functional, operational and safety requirements for a marine/offshore high voltage system and the remedial action necessary during system faults. This course is not intended to authorise participants to carry out switching duties (see MAR4 course).Outline Contents
