Medium Voltage

Training Overview

• Review of electrical hazard awareness concepts
• Read and interpret collection system one-line diagrams
• Identify system components
• Review arc flash study results and PPE requirements
• Review switching events (red and yellow edge bulletins)
• Identify equipment design and operational limitations
• Conduct pre-switching inspections
• Define emergency switching processes
• Execute switching procedures
• Test for de-energization

This course provides an understanding of the switching process for medium voltage transformers and switchgear, such as pad-mounted transformers and gas-insulated switchgear used in generation equipment. Technicians will gain the knowledge required to identify electrical hazards, review collection system one-line diagrams, perform pre-switching inspections, and safely isolate or re-energize equipment. Additionally, participants will develop the skills necessary to properly install Temporary Protective Grounds.
