Medium And High Voltage Equipment Installation And Replacement Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply relevant safety procedures and regulations when working with medium and high voltage equipment.
• Demonstrate correct methods for isolating, earthing, and testing medium and high voltage systems.
• Implement installation procedures for transformers, switchgear, and cables according to manufacturer specifications.
• Analyze fault conditions and identify appropriate corrective actions during equipment replacement.
• Evaluate the condition of existing equipment and determine suitability for replacement or repair.
• Design a safe work plan for the installation or replacement of medium and high voltage equipment.

Target Audience

This course is designed for electricians, electrical technicians, and engineers who are involved in the installation, maintenance, or replacement of medium and high voltage equipment in industrial, commercial, or utility settings.

Prerequisites

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are essential to develop competence in installing and replacing MV/HV equipment. Learners will work with actual components (training rigs) to perform installation, termination, testing, and troubleshooting tasks under supervision.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Transformer Installation and Connection — Learners install a small distribution transformer, connect primary and secondary windings, and verify connections using a multimeter and insulation tester. (3h)
• Practical 2: Switchgear Assembly and Wiring — Learners assemble a low-voltage switchgear panel, install circuit breakers, and wire control circuits based on a schematic diagram. (3h)
• Practical 3: Cable Termination and Jointing — Learners prepare and terminate medium voltage cables using heat-shrink and cold-shrink kits, and perform a straight joint. (2h)
• Practical 4: Testing and Commissioning — Learners conduct insulation resistance, polarity, and functional tests on an installed MV panel, and simulate commissioning steps. (2h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
