Virtual Instructor Led NFPA 70E High Voltage Qualified Training
Descriptions
This two-day virtual instructor led course will cover both NFPA 70E Low Voltage and High Voltage Qualified Training.
The low voltage qualified course focuses on electrical safety training for employees who work on 600V and below. This NFPA 70E based course goes beyond the theoretical to give attendees a complete understanding of the rules and regulations relating to electrical and arc flash safety and how to apply them in real-world situations.
In the high voltage training, attendees learn what it means to be HV qualified and what electrical tasks may only be performed by a qualified person. Working on or above 600V to 69 kV industrial high voltage distribution systems requires qualification.
