High-voltage switching training Learn to safely perform high-voltage switching
What if your entire company suddenly loses power? Only the emergency lighting and other safety installations are still functioning. In such cases, the high-voltage installation must be manually switched back on.
Few colleagues are eager to do this, and rightly so. Not everyone is authorized to work on electrical installations, let alone high-voltage systems. High voltage carries specific characteristics and risks, so manual intervention must follow strict procedures to prevent accidents.
Not everyone is authorized to work on electrical installations, let alone high-voltage systems.
The electrical voltage at a standard socket is 230 Volts. That is low voltage. From the moment electrical voltage exceeds 1,000 Volts (AC) or 1,500 Volts (DC), it is referred to as high voltage.
This level of voltage is used to transport large amounts of electrical energy via the high-voltage grid, both above and below ground. But what if the high voltage fails and your entire company is without power?
How do you switch the high voltage back on?
Not everyone can or may operate a high-voltage installation. Thorough training and regular refreshers on hazards and safety measures are a must. You will learn this in practice at RelyOn Electrical Services.
