(ELE301.2) Electrical Safety for Plant Personnel

Provide an understanding of the electrical systems and theory behind the equipment and systems.

Description

The Electrical Safety for Plant Personnel training course is designed to provide an understanding of the electrical systems and theory behind the equipment and systems.  The training will enhance the plant operators and maintenance technicians understanding of the electrical areas related to operating the power generation equipment.  The training integrates a combination of classroom instruction, associated system walk-downs, and practical applications.  Operations and maintenance technicians perform functions vital to the safe and efficient operation of a power plant.  In order to fulfill their job responsibilities, they require an understanding of the Siemens Energy electrical generator system and its interrelationship with the associated systems of their plant.  The goal of the electrical safety for plant personnel training program is to provide this understanding of how to work safely with de-energized electrical systems.

 

NOTE: This course does NOT meet the requirements to qualify personnel as qualified electrical workers.
