High Voltage Course
High Voltage Course
.
Aquanaut Dynamic Positioning Centre is a DP training institute that provides an elaborate “High Voltage Safety Course in Navi Mumbai (India). Candidates applying for this course must be Electrical Officers, ETO`s or Marine Engineers. Course will commence on every Monday and the course duration will be 3 Days.
The HV training provided meets the provisions as mentioned in Section A/lll-l, A/lll-2, A/lll- 6 & Blll/2 of the STCW Code 2010 (Manila Amendments)
Modern ships and installations, have High Voltage equipment to handle the massive power requirements
Operators and maintenance staff of such equipment require to be well trained in all aspects of High Voltage Safety and various safety procedures for handling the same.
Aquanaut Dynamic Positioning Centre, provides customized training to the Maritime sector. High-Voltage Safety Course offers invaluable benefits to Marine Engineers, Electrical Officers and ETOs.
The High-Voltage Safety Course includes practicals on High Voltage Permit system, PPE, and hands-on exercises on an actual High Voltage Panel comprising of Vacuum Circuit Breaker, control circuits, Earthing switch, test equipment, associated interlocks, Potential and Current transformers, Bus Bar chamber and Low Voltage Safety Relay / control panel.

Objectives of the High Voltage Course
.
To be familiarized and to understand the working of the various components & equipment used in High Voltage installations on board ships.- To be familiarized and to understand the procedure to Operate and maintain High Voltage installations safely & efficiently.
- To learn by sharing of experiences amongst other participants attending the training course.
Target Group: Electrical Officers, ETO`s & Marine Engineers.
.
Career opportunities
.
The practical training sessions are very thorough and circumstantial and therefore, candidates get a better understanding of everything. Once a candidate clears this course, they gain experience in the practical area of HV switchboards, which is very different from theoretical training and a new and advanced career path is open to them. If you are an Electrical engineer, ETO or Marine engineer and want to move up the ladder, a very good way of doing so is to pursue the High Voltage Course at ADPC.
We aim to impart the necessary knowledge and skill in our candidates to maintain the High Voltage System on board independently with minimal support from the Manufacturer or Service provider.
