The course is offered by IMINZ and conducted by experienced seafarers.

Program Outline

HVA512 STCW High Voltage Vessel Systems - Operational (NMIT)

Degree Overview:

This course provides students with the essential knowledge and safety principles of working with high-voltage (>1000V) ship installations. It prepares students for operational responsibilities in marine electrical power plants exceeding 1,000V.

Learning Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Understand the definition of high voltage (>1000V)
• Explain the purpose and usage of high voltage installations on board ships
• Identify the voltage levels commonly used as high voltage on board ships
• Describe various equipment and installations in high voltage systems, including generators, distribution boards, and motors
• Compare and contrast the characteristics and features of high voltage installations compared to less than 1000V systems
• Explain the earthing of high voltage systems via a resistor
• Describe how the presence of earth faults is indicated in a high voltage system with an earthed neutral
• State essential safety precautions to prevent accidents when working on high voltage electrical equipment

Other:

• This course is offered by the International Maritime Institute of New Zealand (IMINZ), a part of NMIT.
• The course is conducted by experienced seafarers with extensive industry knowledge.
• A passport photo is required prior to the course commencement.
