Description
This course provides an understanding of Hospital high and low voltage power systems including statutory regulations, safe operation, protection and fault diagnosis on a wide range of power equipment. It also enables candidates to perform HV switching operations on industrial HV networks up to and including 15kV, and prepares them for HV authorisation in accordance with HTM 06 – 03.
