HV Protection Training

HV Protection Training

HV Protection Training

(OP)
I’m looking for a course, preferably in the NW of the UK on HV protection systems (nothing too intense though!!). Powersystems do a two day course which seems to fit the bill, could anyone advise on any other training courses?

Thanks,

Alan

RE: HV Protection Training


My background is in ANSI regions, but allow me to comment on a basic but universal tenet that may get overlooked in the training process—that is the basis for most other aspects of electrical safety.  It is crucial and fundamental that a trainee/worker be able to determine the voltage class of electrical gear before any attempt to closely examine or contact the equipment at hand is permitted.

Reports of grisly injuries and loss of life continue to periodically resurface—even though it is easy to assume that should never happen in our supposedly advanced industry.

"Recognition" is one of the principal topics of OSHA recommended training in the U.S.

busbar,

"It is crucial and fundamental that a trainee/worker be able to determine the voltage class of electrical gear before any attempt to closely examine or contact the equipment at hand is permitted".

In the UK, work is only carried out on HV equipment after the equipment is made dead, isolated & earthed by the use of a switching programme & the isuue of a HV permit to work. Where I work all HV subs are kept locked & keys are only held by HV authorised people who have the experience / training to operate the switchgear safely & know not to carry out any work (including testing) without a PTW.
