Power Cables in General training course

This general course covers all the important aspects of MV and (E)HV cables and their accessories.

A relatively large number of cables are buried underground. This means many people will be involved with (underground) power cables professionally, and that associated knowledge is a key requirement. This basic course, Power Cables in General, covers all the relevant aspects relating to power cables – not always down to a detailed level (specialized courses are available for this purpose), but especially in a related context. This means the course provides a good overview of all the elements that are of interest, as well as the options available for approaching or solving certain problems. The textbook will also be a useful reference tool.

This course is part of a series of five on underground power cables. Supplementary to this general course, four in-depth multi-day courses have been developed, providing more detailed information on the following topics:


Subjects:

  • Design parameters
  • Materials & types of cable
  • Cable manufacture
  • Cable joints and terminations
  • Cable installation
  • Ageing
  • Testing cables during the production and operation phases
  • Field testing for commissioning and service aged cables
  • Failure investigation
  • Fault location

Target Audience:
Anyone involved (or to be involved) with power cables in the course of their daily work. It is recommended that the participants hold at least a Bachelor of Engineering degree.

Next to underground power cable courses, DNV also offers three courses in the field of HVDC and submarine power cables:
