S4 33kV - The Safe Operation of High Voltage Power Systems (Full High Voltage Authorisation)

Description

This course provides an understanding of industrial high and low voltage power systems including safe operation on a wide range of power equipment. It enables candidates to perform advanced HV switching operations on industrial HV networks up to and including 33kV (please see course dates for further info). This prepares them for HV authorisation in accordance with their company’s safety rules/regulations. It includes both classroom theory and practical exercises. Upon completion, candidates will be assessed to a competency level suitable for switching and issuing documents for work on all types of circuit.

Chris was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and couldn’t be more supportive with questions throughout the week. For somebody with very little experience switching it was a challenging yet rewarding introduction to how to execute the work safely. Thank you again.

Been on 2 separate courses with chris, his electrical protection knowledge is like nobody I've ever met, extremely knowledgeable person with the experience to back it up.

Chris delivered the course exceptionally well. Both the theory and practical elements were presented in a professional, clear, and informative manner. Every question was answered, and all aspects of the course were thoroughly explained. He also shared valuable insights from his own journey and real-life experiences. I would highly recommend this course. Wrap up well if attending in winter though!

Course venue was good. Plenty to see, and operate. Not sure if it’s something that could be adopted into the course more, but the discipline steps of preforming isolations in the safest ways. Some confusion over if you withdraw ACB’s a lot before withdrawing HV cbs. Also the hazards maybe of cbs failing to close, or CBs struck when racking in or out.. the reality hazards you may come across as an SAP, and how to safely overcome them for new guys training on this course. All good knowledge is worth sharing to ensure people are safe and knowledgable. Content was good and Chris very knowledgable.
