To meet demand growth, rapid expansion of the electricity generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure is needed. This growth will require a considerable increase in the number and diversity of organizations 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 introductory course provides participants with a basic understanding of High Voltage installations and associated Best Practice principles. First participants are introduced to the specific Risks and Hazards associated with High Voltage (HV) Electricity. The components of an HV system are explained together with how these are shown in a single-line diagram. The common terms and abbreviations are detailed, together with the typical organizational structure for personnel working with an HV system. The applicable standard and regulations are introduced, and the required maintenance procedures to ensure a safe system are shown.
The course consists of 7 hours of online live sessions with the instructor. All training content is provided through your EngineeringTrainer account. After the course, you maintain 1-year unlimited access to the course, including any new course material. This allows you to perform modules again should you need to refresh your knowledge.
