Course Details

Course Name: HIGH VOLTAGE COURSE MANAGEMENT LEVEL - UK MCA APPROVED
Entry Criteria:

'Prior electrical or electro-technical experience in a shipboard environment, Have completed 12 months sea time as EOOW(Engine Officer On the Watch) and Part of an initial electro-technical training programmer after Class IV CoC and above.

Course Duration: 5 Days 35 Hours
Course Description:

The demand for electrical power has increased on many ships, especially those with diesel-electric propulsion where the supply voltage becomes too high. The supply current becomes far too high, it is not efficient or practical to use the common shipboard voltage supply of 440V. Modern ships, particularly container, passenger, LNG and specialist offshore ships are built now with high voltage generating plant and distribution system. As per STCW Reg III/I – for officers incharge of an engineering watch and STCW Regulation III/2, - Chief and Second Engineer Officers on ships are to be trained to work with high voltage installations onboard merchant ships. This course is designed to educate and trains both operational and management level Officers and Electrical Officers / ETO on high voltage systems.

Contents of the Course:

  • High voltage safety rules and safe procedures on boardships.
  • Legislation and guidance, pertaining to marine high voltage systems and how to apply it.
  • Electrical hazards associated with high voltage systems e.g. electrical shock, arc and blast. w Complete relevant examples of records and safety documentation including ‘Permits to Work’ and ‘Sanction to Test’etc.
  • Determine the assignment of suitably qualified personnel to carry out maintenance and repair.
  • Operational and safety features associated with high voltage electrical hazards
  • Function of the protection devices and their sequence of operation.
  • Operate high voltage interlock systems like key safes and Isolok systems.
  • Analyse the protection of a high voltage marine distribution system
  • Power management systems for the synchronisation and control of generators.
  • Perform correct isolation and earthing procedures of high voltage equipment.
  • Identification of different high voltage fault conditions.
  • Preparation of switching plan to isolate a high voltage distribution fault.
