HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY

Maritime Institute's High Voltage Safety course is a one-week course comprised of classroom lectures, simulator-based training and assessments on our state of-the-art TRANSAS TechSim 5000 High-Voltage (HV) Circuit Breaker Simulator. Students will be exposed to the principles behind shock hazards, and arc flash/arc blast phenomena.

 

Practical exercises will help students understand how shock and arc flash boundaries are calculated, and most important, Incident Energy calculations to determine selection of required arc flash PPE. The assessment will incorporate all aspects of training including the proper use of PPE, live line tools, multimeters, other test equipment, and a implementation of a sample checklist for a Job Safety Analysis plan dealing with HV.
