Electric Power Cables (EPC)

Electric Power Cables (EPC)

An Electric Power Cables Technician provides technical support for the testing, installation, fault localization, repair and splicing of cables in the power transmission system. He also helps to lay out spaces, cables and equipment in manholes, installs and terminates cables and performs cable splicing on various cable types in new transmission circuits. Additionally, he reports fault location and the nature of faults to supervisors for subsequent repair.

 

Educational/vocational objectives

The expected EPC educational/vocational objectives are that, upon completing all training courses including OJT, the trainee will be able to:

  • Apply principles of mathematics and applied science, to perform technical calculations and solve technical problems of the types commonly encountered in operation and maintenance technology careers.
  • Demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively and function effectively with members of multi-disciplinary teams and with other workers in an industrial setting, including those from different backgrounds.
  • Provide technical support for the testing, installation, fault localization, repair, splicing and maintenance of cables present in the Company power transmission system.
  • Monitor oil pressure gauges, and maintain oil pressure in oil-filled cables at the required level.
  • Perform inspection, testing and locating of cable faults in faulted cables using sophisticated cable test equipment and test vans.
  • Report fault location and nature to supervisor for subsequent repair.
  • Perform splicing and terminating of various types of cables to repair faults on power system.
  • Conduct various tests including High Pot tests on spliced or terminated cables in order to make sure that they are operating excellently and could withstand high voltage stress.
  • Perform splicing of cables of various types and voltages in new transmission circuits.
  • Install and terminate cables in primary switches, pad mount switchgear and transformers, substations and overhead towers and poles.
  • Learn and help to lay out spaces, cables and equipment in manholes.
  • Carry out preventive maintenance duties, such as inspecting cables and equipment for damage and leaking oil.
