Cable Training & CPD-Certified Courses

Covering CPR legislation for cables used in fixed installations in construction projects: compliance across supply chains, applicable tests, and CPR classifications. It also looks at CE labelling, the Declaration of Performance (DoP), provides guidance on CPR classes for cable materials, and gives an overview of UK and European best practices and formal requirements. 

Covers medium voltage cables from their construction to their application: manufacturing techniques, construction variations owing to electrical and mechanical requirements of the application, and commonly specified British and international MV cable standards. Option to look at UK’s DNOs and their requirements for MV power connections.

Covering the wide variety of cable constructions and the practical applications of their component parts. It looks at and provides examples of specific materials and their characteristics, and considers how the installation environment can impact the choice of materials and cable layers required.

What are the Greenhouse Gas emissions associated with electrical cables? Looks at cables from the raw materials and manufacturing processes upstream, to the implications of supply, and the positive actions the end user can take.

An overview of the cable manufacturing process, covering cable construction and the processes involved in producing each element across conductors, insulation, laying up, bedding, taping, braiding, armouring and sheathing.

Standard cable tests and their requirements, including routine, sample and type tests. It aims to provide an understanding of the various tests to assess cable construction, electrical characteristics, and mechanical properties and third-party certification tests.

An overview of fire resistant cable technology - the difference between fire resistant and fire retardant,  Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) and Low Smoke and Fume (LSF). Explores the dangers of PVC in fire conditions, and the benefits of LSZH materials.

Fire resistant cable standards and the various fire resistance tests required to confirm compliance (related to fire conditions). It covers the difference between manufacturing standards and codes of practice, cable selection based on test criteria, and third-party approvals including LPCB.

Looks at the four Network Rail cable groups - Signalling, Power, Telecoms and Overhead Line. It provides an understanding of the principles of electrified lines, and looks at the wide variety of cables used across the network
