High voltage systems – Additional Competence for Hydropower

After completing the course, participants will have acquired the necessary additional competence to independently and safely operate and manage high-voltage installations in hydropower plants. This includes, among other things, understanding roles, safety barriers, and practical routines for switching operations.

The course is intended for: Electrical fitters (high-voltage technicians) and energy operators who will assume the following roles in a hydropower plant:

• Safety Manager (LFS)
• Switching Manager (LFK)
• Switch Operator (Kobler)

• Basic electrical understanding
• Types of circuit breakers, switchgear, and equipment in hydropower plants
• Technical safety barriers and risk assessments
• Electrical hazards specific to hydropower environments
• Personal protective equipment and clothing
• Roles and responsibilities: LFS, LFK, and Switch Operator
• The role and practical importance of the synchronous generator in operations
• Voltage testing and use of earthing devices
• Planning and preparing switching orders
• Practical exercises and execution of switching operations
• General maintenance and inspection of high voltage installations
• Communication and teamwork

In addition to this course, participants must receive a local site-specific briefing and instruction on the installations they will be working on. This will be arranged by their employer.

Prequalification: Participants must have completed FSE high voltage training within the last 12 months.
