About This Course
This course equips students with the knowledge and safety principles necessary for working with high voltage vessel systems (over 1,000V). It covers operational responsibilities in a marine electrical power plant and meets the requirements of STCW 1978 as amended, A-III/1. Students will understand the configuration and operating principles of high voltage installations on board sea vessels.
