Field Commissioning, Diagnostics and High-Voltage Maintenance

CHG 115 focuses on equipping technicians with the expertise required for the safe and effective management of high-voltage electrical installations. The curriculum encompasses the systematic procedures for initial field commissioning, ensuring new systems operate within specifications. Students will learn to accurately interpret diagnostic data and fault codes, enabling rapid identification and resolution of system anomalies. A significant emphasis is placed on high-voltage safety practices, including lockout/tagout procedures, personal protective equipment, and emergency response. Furthermore, the course delves into comprehensive preventive maintenance strategies designed to optimize system reliability and extend equipment lifespan, preparing technicians for critical roles in maintaining complex electrical infrastructure.
