OBJECTIVE

This industry endorsed course, derived from the UEP12 Electricity Supply Industry-Generator Sector Training Package and the UET12 Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package, is intended for electrical workers and electrical engineers working with HV switchgear in industrial facilities and networks. 

Target Workforce

Licenced Electricians, Electrical Engineers and Power Plant Operators who either develop Switching Programs or perform the role of an authorised High Voltage Switching Operator.

 

The High Voltage Switching Operations course has been developed by industry professionals with the experience and expertise to deliver the course in a way that provides participants with the competency to carry out high voltage switching activities safely.

 

Entry Requirements 

Licenced Electricians, Electrical Engineers and Power Plant Operators who either develop Switching Programs or perform the role of an authorised High Voltage Switching Operator. 

Training Content

You will undergo theory and hands-on practical training with qualified professional trainers who have been practicing in the HV Switching for last 20 years.

 

The course, in line with industry procedures and workplace practices, allows you to experience control room scenarios and hands-on in-the-field switching operations, and aims to:

  • Provide understanding of hazards associated with switching high voltage equipment;
  • Highlight the dangers to personnel and the damage that can occur to equipment if correct procedures are not followed;
  • Provide participants with knowledge of fault levels and how these are affected by the operation of various high voltage equipment;
  • Provide participants with the knowledge to develop switching programs to ensure that high voltage equipment can be safely isolated and earthed for access

Refresher Training

In accordance with Australian Government Health & Safety Regulations for continuing education, as well as industry best practices, PMV Training recommends that High Voltage Operator competencies are refreshed every 2 to 3 years. 

PMV Training offers HV Refresher Training which takes 2 Days to complete.
