Course Description
This interactive virtual training will feature
engaging activities using technology-based
tools and programs that simulate individual
and group workshops and provide vibrant
learning interactions among participants.

High voltage electrical systems require the special

application of maintenance, repair, test, and safety
procedures. Personnel must be trained in special
precautions to ensure both personnel and
workplace safety. OSHA requires training for all
qualified employees performing operations or
maintenance work, or who have access to
electrical power generation, transmission and
distribution installations as well as HSE personnel
who are in charge of the safety and health of the
employees, public and facilities.

This course covers the knowledge and skills

needed to safely work with energized high-voltage
high-energy electric power systems. Principles
and procedures for the safe operation and
maintenance of high voltage systems are covered.
Insulated hand tools, "hot-sticks", proper
grounding procedures, proper protective clothing,
and thorough job-planning procedures are
stressed throughout the course. Properties of
electric charge, energy, electric potential, dielectric
stress, capacitive and inductive coupling, and
material behavior in electromagnetic fields are
covered.

The effects of electrical energy on humans and various protection concepts are
addressed, as are basic first aid practices. Differential protection schemes, insulation
materials, Faraday cages, equi-potential grounding, live-line tools, and isolation
techniques are covered from both the technical and practical perspectives.

Various OSHA, IEEE, IEC, European and NFPA safety procedures are reviewed. In this
interactive course, group exercises include the development of safe-work protocols, use
of lockout/tagout (LOTO), maintenance task rehearsal, and equipment preparation.
Calculations of fault current, arc-flash hazards, and proper PPE selection are studied.
Other technical topics covered include insulation testing (IR/PI/DAR/DD), four-wire Kelvin
low-resistance testing, corona detection by ultrasonic and RF detectors, and signature
analysis using an infrared imager.

Successful course participants who attend the course and pass competency exam, will
be certified to work on high voltage electrical power systems. Course participants are
introduced to the hazards of electrical work and the philosophies of preventing accident
and minimizing outage time due to improper safety or work practices. Also included as
part of the curriculum are study materials participants may use at their own pace to
continue their learning experience. This course addresses OSHA training requirements
established in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269.
