High Voltage Switchgear Operation Package up to 15kV (S9 + S4) (TP1)
TP1
This package covers the Practical Introduction to the Safe Operation of High & Low Voltage Switchgear (S9) and The Safe Operation of High Voltage Power Systems (S4); the S9 course serves as a precursor to the S4. This package would be suitable for those who have LV electrical experience but limited HV competency and would like to gain some practical experience in HV switching. The package must be taken in the sequence of S9 followed by S4.
Course content
S9
- Operational and safety features of switchgear
- High voltage safety rules
- Key safes and multihasp systems
- Test equipment for proving dead
- Operational procedures
- Practical exercises on a range of circuits and equipment types
S4
- Electrical hazards and precautions
- Electricity at work regulations
- Understanding the arc blast hazard
- Causes of electrical accidents
- Operational and safety features of switchgear
- Substations and safety requirements
- Secondary hazards and emergency conditions
- High voltage safety rules
- Key safes and multihasp systems
- Test equipment for proving dead
- Operational procedures
- Application of electrical protection on industrial power systems
- Fault exercises
- Practical exercises
Who should attend?
Electrical personnel with a good foundation level of electrical knowledge who are required to carry out advanced HV switching operations and safety document issuing responsibilities up to and including 15kV. The course is aimed at personnel who are to be authorised to multiple grades of duty which company rules may acknowledge as a senior authorised person (SAP). Candidates may find it beneficial to attend our S9 course as a precursor to this course.
Also, personnel who require practical (hands-on) experience of switching and issuing of safety documents on high and low voltage power systems up to and including 15kV. This course may be undertaken by candidates in order to gain practical experience on the operation of HV switchgear prior to attending a limited or full authorisation course.
Certifications
Candidates who successfully complete the course and both theoretical and practical assessments will receive The Faraday Centre competence certificate. Candidates who fail will receive The Faraday Centre attendance certificate.
