Marine High Voltage JNE247
Introduction
This unit provides students with the knowledge and skills to manage the high voltage generation and distribution installations found on modern ships and other offshore installations. This includes the design, installation, construction, trouble shooting, maintenance, commission, and calibration of the HV propulsion machinery, ancillary machinery, and related systems in line with statutory and operational requirements. The unit also deals with planning operation and electrical maintenance functions during routine operations and maintenance cycles, manage and allocate the required procedures and resources to sustain the operation of the vessel, and plan and carry out HV switching operations for repairs including Propulsion systems. This also includes liaisons and reporting to shipping, industry, and statutory stakeholders. This unit meet the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the Maritime Training Package MAR 60120, the STCW 2010 (Manila Amendments) and Table A-III/1, AIII/2 and AIII/6 of the STCW code
