Course Description

Introduction

The significance and applicability of switching in high voltage power systems for operation and maintenance will be covered in this training course on high voltage switching safety, operations, and maintenance. Technicians and engineers will acquaint themselves with pertinent safety protocols and practices utilized in its execution. There will be presentations on general safety advice, real-world Management System examples, and the value of having procedures in place for both operation and maintenance. 

To help students comprehend the dangers involved in operating switchgear, a brief overview of the technical features of switching devices and their maintenance needs is provided in the course. The degree of detail provided in this training course will correspond to the aspects of contemporary asset management maintenance approaches.

The seminar will provide safe switching practices along with instances of events that resulted from misbehaviour or equipment failure. After internal actions and in compliance with the law, investigation protocols for such instances will be examined. 

This instruction session will emphasize: 

  • Guidelines for standards and best practices 
  • General recommendations for safe work 
  • Safe switchgear operation and switching 
  • The significance of earthing 
  • Management of site safety 
  • Methods of investigation 
  • Aspects of legislation

Goals

Upon completion of this training program, you will be able to: 

  • Become aware of the risks involved with switching 
  • Appropriately choose and operate the equipment 
  • Supervisors and managers will be trained on safety procedures. 
  • Discover how to evaluate safe work procedures. 
  • Talk about the protocols used by network operators. 
  • Using examples, discuss and comprehend a set of distribution safety regulations.

Training Methodology

In-depth instruction on the topics included in the training course outline will be provided to participants, and the instructor will use a range of tried-and-true adult learning teaching and facilitation strategies. Interactive power point sessions with slides and videos are part of the training course approach. The participants will actively participate in the case study analysis process, helping to choose the best mitigation action.
