About Electrical Safe Work Practices for Generation Station Personnel

Generation plants generally have higher risks than most other facilities. Station service is generally 480 volts and sometimes 4,160 volts with a high arc flash level; generation is generally 4,160 to 17,000 volts, usually with extreme arc flash levels while running. There are complexities in the electrical configurations, making lockout/tagout requirements stringent and complex when mixing with clearance requirements at the step-up transformer in the yard. Temporary protective grounding also can pose challenges due to extreme available fault current and long clearing times between generator and breaker. 

Learning Objectives

This course will provide information that will help to clarify methods to effectively control hazards in the plants.

  • Understand electrical shock and arc flash hazards in generation plants.
  • Define qualified electrical workers and associated training requirements.
  • Demonstrate OSHA requirements, including care and use of PPE.
  • Identify risk levels for various tasks.
