Private High Voltage Distribution Systems
HV Networks are very simple to operate, but the consequences of
failure can be devastating.
More and more companies are outsourcing the management of their
electrical networks to Facilities Management companies. As these
networks rarely give rise to any problem the management often ignore
these systems and appoint an authorised person to carry out the few
operations needed when they hand over any construction or
maintenance work to specialist companies. However the consequences
of a failure of High Voltage systems can be devastating.
Lost
production or income is the least of the issues. Worse still are the
extreme consequences of equipment failure or operational errors.
Very few industrial systems have the capability to cause so much
violent disruption.
HV switchgear is normally operated by specially trained and
appointed staff who should have the necessary experience and
technical ability to recognise the dangers. We can provide:-
- Safety rules
Operational procedures- Risk assessments
- Method statements
- Staff training
- Security of supply assessments
- Site management
- Training for the authoriser
- Operational Boundary procedures
- Ownership operation and maintenance schedules
