132 - 400kV Appreciation Course (Cross Boundary Interfaces)

This 2 day training course is designed for anyone involved in developing or operating a transmission connection with NGET/ESO, providing essential insight into working across cross-boundary interfaces.

As new connections increasingly operate at higher voltages, working with NGET and ESO can be a complex and challenging process. This course provides clear guidance on managing cross boundary activities during the final stages of commissioning and the transition into operations.

By the end of the course attendees will

• Understand the hazards of electricity

• Understand how behavioural factors can impact electrical operations

• Produce switching schedules and have practical experience switching out circuits using field/ control room communications protocols and terminology

• Recognise the equipment and features of air insulated switchgear

• Understand the typical boundary points between the user and NGET

• Recognise the sources and dangers of impressed voltages

• Understand the applicable NESO National Safety Instructions, especially NSI 2, applying primary and portable earths

• Managing cross boundary safety through RISSP documents and a practical exercise to issue and receive a RISSP

• Develop an IV management plan for the users substation
