Training in Action: Real-Life GWO High Voltage Scenarios
-
Offshore Turbine Commissioning: A technician is called to safely energise a newly installed turbine. Thanks to the course, they confidently execute a switching plan, document each step, and communicate clearly with the control room.
-
Emergency Shutdown in Harsh Weather: During a storm, a fault is detected in the HV cabinet. A trained operator isolates the system safely, preventing escalation and protecting the team from potential arc flash hazards.
-
Maintenance Coordination: While planning scheduled maintenance, the technician creates a safe switching sequence. With a clear understanding of LOTO protocols and system grounding, they ensure the work can proceed safely.
