The 4-Day Practical HV Switching Course is designed to give delegates real-world experience in a safe, controlled training environment.

Unlike classroom-only courses, this programme utilises our dedicated 11kV mock switch room, allowing candidates to carry out practical switching exercises without the risks associated with live systems. Delegates gain hands-on competence and confidence while applying the Electrical and Mechanical Safety Rules and associated documentation.

By the end of the course, delegates will have developed practical knowledge and skills in:

• Safe access procedures for switch rooms
• HV switching procedures
• Issuing and receiving switching instructions
• Issuing and receiving earthing instructions
• Performing HV switching and earthing operations
• Isolation of HV apparatus
• Correct use of approved voltage measuring devices to prove circuits dead
• Preparing and issuing PFWs (Permits for Work) and SFTs (Sanctions for Test)
• Issuing, receiving, transferring, and suspending PFWs and SFTs
• Issuing and receiving RISSPs
• Testing HV apparatus
