COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions where participants will be engaged in HV power switching and other working practices. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of HV Switching & Responsible Electrical Person (REP). It covers the legislation and standards of high voltage switching operations; the proper approach to high voltage-safe systems of work; the permit types and permit procedures; the construction of switchgear and types of circuit breaker; and the safe testing and maintenance of breakers and switchgear. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the control and management of distribution systems; applying control permit to work operations; performing switching to a switching program and coordinating and directing switching program; working safely near live electrical apparatus and performing HV switching operation to a given schedule; developing high voltage switching schedule; coordinating and directing power system switching schedules; solving problems with ageing switchgear outdated mechanisms; and developing leadership and teamwork and managing stress in a professional manner.
