Why take this course?

This self-paced course introduces High Voltage (HV) best practices for professionals involved in the design, operation, and maintenance of HV installations. Topics include safety rules, risk assessment, and compliance with EN standards. Includes video lectures, quizzes, and awards a certificate with PDH credits upon completion.

What you'll learn

After this course, you...
• are familiar with the design standards EN 50110• 1:2023 and IEC 61936• 1:2021, and have seen that compliance to these design standards can demonstrate that all reasonably practicable safety measures have been taken,
• know the dangers associated with High Voltage equipment, the rules that should be followed and Safe System of Work,
• have seen the protocols for maintaining HV Equipment to ensure it is safe to operate and the required O&M documentation,
• understand the roles and organisation needed for the safe operation of HV equipment and the competence requirements of those in each function,
• have seen the best practice for planning HV works,
• understand the work flow needed to satisfy the duties and requirements imposed on developers, designers and contractors by national and international legislation.

About the course

Significant electricity infrastructure developments are required to meet future high demand growth and decarbonisation. This rapid expansion of electricity generation, transmission, distribution infrastructure will require a considerable increase in the number and diversity of organisations and persons working with electricity, and in particular High Voltage (HV) electricity. Without a complimentary investment in training, there is a potential deficit in the competence of persons and companies who manage and operate HV installations.

This course provides Employers, Asset Owners, Facilities Managers, Safety Professionals, Consultants, Contractors, Engineers, Technicians, and Graduates involved to any extent in design, construction, commissioning, maintenance and operation of HV installations, with an understanding of High Voltage Best Practice principles. This includes Competence Assessment, Electrical Safety Rules and Safe System of Work, HV Hazard Identification Risk Assessment, HV equipment maintenance and O&M documentation. Thereby giving a working understanding of the reasonably practicable measures that should be taken to satisfy the duties and requirements imposed on developers, designers and contractors by national legislation, so as to conform to EN 61936-1:2021 and EN 50110-1:2023.

The course consists of 7 hours of online live sessions with the instructors. All training content is provided through your EngineeringTrainer account.
