Marine/Offshore High Voltage Switchgear Operation Package (S9 + MAR4/OS4) (TP2)
TP2
This package covers the Practical Introduction to the Safe Operation of High & Low Voltage Switchgear (S9) and The Safe Operation of Marine/Offshore High Voltage Power Systems (MAR4/OS4); the S9 course serves as a precursor to the MAR4 course. This package would be suitable for offshore and marine personnel 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 MAR4/OS4.

Who should attend?
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.
Marine/offshore personnel with prior knowledge of the inspection, operation, maintenance, and repair of high voltage systems and who are to be responsible for switching and issue of safety documents. 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.
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.
