This course is designed to instruct electrical personnel in the safe working techniques for offshore and onshore industrial high-voltage applications.
Prerequisites
Delegates attending this course should have knowledge of basic electrical practice and theory. Technical training in a relevant electrical/ electronic discipline (AAS) or equivalent two years of practical electrical experience.
Objective
The course covers the IEC & NEC standards for HV switching, electrical isolations, and flash protection boundaries per the NFPA 70E 2020. Our new power generation and distribution simulator instructs technicians in the start-up and troubleshooting of offshore power systems, including fundamental system principles and dynamics, bus loading management, distribution to lower voltage electrical networks, HV electrical cabling & stress relief concepts, and other associated electrical applications
