Strategic Standby Power Systems
Electrical and Power Engineering|5 days|Classroom or live online
Strategic Standby Power Systems looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on electrical safety procedure, standby generation and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because electrical incidents are among the few workplace risks that are immediately fatal. Delegates leave able to work confidently with variable speed drives, insulation testing and arc flash assessment in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring variable speed drives into line with current good practice, measured against the Occupational Health and Safety Act
- Put insulation testing on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Improve arc flash assessment within their own organisation
- Review cable fault location and say plainly whether it is working
