Course Details
This course is designed to give learners a theoretical and practical understanding of electrical protective equipment used on high voltage systems, whilst carrying out the duties of the Authorised Person, Responsible Person or Nominated Person.
Who is the course for
This high voltage training course is for High Voltage Authorised Persons with responsibility for the application, commissioning or maintenance of electrical protective equipment used on high voltage electrical systems.
Through a mix of practical exercises and classroom theory at our training centre, we will provide you with theoretical and practical instruction on high voltage equipment protection systems utilising electronic, microprocessor and electro-mechanical devices.
During the course, you will interact with the HV equipment at our training centre. The setup is designed to simulate a realistic high voltage environment and you’ll be interacting with different protective high voltage devices during the course including mechanical, electromechanical and microprocessor-based relays.
A sound foundation of High Voltage (11kV) electrical knowledge is a prerequisite for this course.
Aims & objectives
This course is designed to give learners a theoretical and practical understanding of electrical protective equipment used on high voltage systems, whilst carrying out the duties of the Authorised Person, Responsible Person or Nominated Person.

Course FAQs
For Authorised Persons (Electrical HV) in healthcare, HTM 06-03 recommends retraining every 3 years, with the same recommendation for those working in the commercial sector.
Yes and no. You do need to be working in a healthcare environment, but we do offer a mechanical to electrical conversion course for non-electrical staff who will be required to work on and around electrical machines and equipment.
On completion of the course delegates will be able to diagnose simple electrical faults and have an understanding of the possible causes and carry out necessary isolations and repairs, whilst understanding their limitations and hazards associated with the electrical systems and machines.
