Mv Technician

An MV Technician (Medium Voltage Technician) specializes in the installation, maintenance, and repair of medium voltage electrical systems, typically ranging from 1kV to 35kV. These systems are used in industrial, commercial, and utility settings for power distribution. Below is a detailed job description:
**Key Responsibilities**

**1. Installation**:
Install medium voltage electrical systems, including transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, and cable assemblies.

Connect medium voltage equipment to power grids or other systems following technical specifications and safety protocols.

**2. Maintenance & Inspection**:
Conduct routine inspections to identify potential issues in medium voltage systems.

Perform preventive maintenance to ensure optimal performance and avoid system failures.

Inspect and maintain medium voltage cables, terminations, and grounding systems.

**3. Testing & Troubleshooting**:
Use specialized equipment like insulation testers, multimeters, and circuit analyzers to test system integrity and functionality.

Diagnose faults in medium voltage systems and develop solutions to address them.

**4. Repair & Replacement**:
Repair or replace damaged components, such as switchgear, relays, and transformers.

Ensure all repairs are compliant with industry standards and local regulations.

**5. Compliance & Safety**:
Follow national and international standards (e.g., IEEE, IEC) for medium voltage systems.

Adhere to safety procedures, including lockout-tagout (LOTO), arc flash protection, and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

**6. Documentation & Reporting**:
Maintain accurate records of installations, inspections, tests, and repairs.

Prepare detailed reports on system performance and maintenance activities.

**7. Collaboration**:
Work closely with engineers, electricians, and other technicians to complete projects efficiently.

Provide technical guidance to junior technicians or apprentices.

**Skills & Qualifications**

Strong understanding of medium voltage systems, including transformers, switchgear, and protection devices.

Proficiency in using tools like insulation resistance testers, fault locators, and power quality analyzers.

Ability to interpret blueprints, electrical schematics, and wiring diagrams.

Problem-solving and critical-thinking skills for troubleshooting.

Familiarity with industry standards and safety practices (e.g., NFPA 70E, OSHA).

Physical fitness and ability to work in confined spaces, at heights, or in challenging environments.

**Educational Requirements**

High school diploma or equivalent.

Vocational training or apprenticeship in electrical systems.

Certifications in medium voltage systems or electrical engineering (e.g., MV Cable Splicing Certification) may be required.

Having EWA License.
