Electrical Safety - Three Phase Power Usage for Water and Wastewater Treatment
After participating in this course, you will be able to:
- Gain awareness of existing standards and best practices for electrical equipment operation, safety, and maintenance.
- Review existing safety protocols for three-phase electrical equipment at the W/WW plant
- Review existing maintenance procedures or optimize maintenance frequency intervals for installed electrical equipment based on existing standards
- Understand concepts of electrically safe work conditions, staging a safe work zone, ingress protection and guarding/barriers, and hazardous locations.
Description
As owners, operators and designers of electrical equipment running our water and wastewater plants, we need to be aware not just of feed and sizing aspects of electrical engineering associated with this equipment but also their operation, maintenance, and safety requirements.
This is also a suitable course for chemical, mechanical, process, civil, instrumentation and controls engineers associated with the water/wastewater industry who wish to cross-train in the discipline of electrical engineering, system ownership and electrical safety.
Course Outline
- Three-phase distribution theory – a look at three-phase equipment used in plant distribution
- Three phase 600VAC loads for water and wastewater, pumps and valves
- Enclosure design standards NEMA and EU IP (ingress protection)
- Electrical safety for three-phase systems - arc flash and electric shock hazards
- Risk assessments - JHA/JSA forms, job briefings, human factor mitigation
- PPE for electrical work - arc ratings and shock glove ratings
- Establishing an electrically safe working condition - lockout tagout OSHA 1910
- Establishing a safe work zone CSA Z.462
- Maintenance per CSA Z463 NETA MTS
- Systems separation of three phases from 120VAC/24VDC control panels
- Hazardous areas in wastewater plants, summary on mitigation
- Current trends in electrical safety
