The Safe Operation of High Voltage Power Systems (Full High Voltage Authorisation based on Transmission & Generation Safety Rules) (S12)

S12

This course aims to provide an understanding of industrial high and low voltage power systems including statutory regulations, safe operation, protection and fault diagnosis on a wide range of power equipment. The course is designed to enable candidates to perform HV switching operations on industrial HV networks up to and including 15kV or 33kV to prepare them for HV authorisation in accordance with their companies’ safety rules/regulations.

This training program requires a good foundation of electrical knowledge. It is designed to bring candidates up to a competency level suitable for Senior Authorised Person (SAP) using CEGB-style safety rules.
