While electricity is indispensable to modern life, high voltage (HV) facilities in particular carry significant risks. This is precisely where the concept of High Voltage Operation Responsibility comes into play. So, what exactly does this responsibility entail, whom does it cover, and why is it so critical? Furthermore, what changes do the new legal regulations bring to this field, and how does Yeşil Grup Enerji ensure your business's safe energy future?
In this blog post, we will cover all the details of high voltage operation responsibility, its duties and authorities, which companies should procure this service, and most importantly, the steps you need to take to ensure safety in your facilities.
High voltage operation responsibility is a technical and administrative service carried out to ensure the safety of life and property in high voltage facilities where electrical energy is generated, transmitted, and distributed. This critical duty is typically undertaken by experienced electrical engineers authorized by the Chamber of Electrical Engineers (EMO).
The primary goal of this service is to prevent electrical accidents caused by high voltage, ensure the continuous and safe operation of the system, respond quickly to potential faults, and guarantee compliance with legal regulations. It acts as a kind of "health insurance" and "safety shield" for high voltage facilities.
According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, it is mandatory to procure high voltage operation responsibility services for all electrical facilities with an operating voltage of 1000 Volts (1 kV) and above. This covers a wide range of institutions and organizations:
If your business has an energy system of 1 kV and above, it is essential to obtain this service to fulfill your legal obligations and protect yourself from potential risks.
A high voltage operation manager is a key professional responsible for the smooth and safe functioning of the facility. Their primary duties and authorities include:
These duties ensure that the facility operates not only safely but also efficiently.
Significant new legal regulations have been introduced recently in the field of high voltage operation responsibility. These regulations aim to improve the quality of service, define responsibilities more clearly, and strengthen oversight mechanisms. It is critically important for businesses to comply with these changes.
With the new regulations, the content and oversight of high voltage operation responsibility contracts have also been tightened. Now, these contracts must be approved by EMO and comply with specified standards. This pushes both service providers and businesses receiving the service to be more transparent and accountable.
