HV ACADEMY · 17 MODULES

HV Academy: 11 kV to 132 kV, from design to energisation

Interactive high-voltage labs for engineers of every level in the GCC, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Each module is a working tool with 2D drawings, 3D models and 4D timelines, built on IEC, AS/NZS and utility practice.

Engineer's Notes: why an HV Academy

HV is where building services meets the utility

Every large building, tower and campus starts at an 11, 22 or 33 kV connection. Getting the RMU, transformer, cables and earthing right decides fault levels, safety and whether the utility will energise on time. These labs turn that knowledge into tools you can use on real projects.

Built for every region and every level

Each lab switches between GCC utilities, Australian and New Zealand networks and Asian utilities, with their voltages, colours and rules. Defaults and plain-language explanations help newcomers, while detailed calculations and checks support experienced engineers.

Frequently asked questions

Is high voltage the same as medium voltage?

It depends on the standard. AS/NZS 3000 and most GCC utilities call anything above 1 kV AC high voltage. IEC often calls 1 to 36 kV medium voltage and reserves high voltage for higher levels. The labs cover both, with a focus on 11, 22 and 33 kV distribution.

Who are the HV Academy labs for?

Design, site, testing and commissioning, and utility engineers, plus students preparing for interviews and licensing exams. Every lab works for beginners with defaults and explanations, and gives experts the detailed numbers.

Which standards do the labs follow?

Mainly IEC 62271, IEC 60076, IEC 60502 and IEC 60909, IEEE 400 for cable testing, and AS/NZS 3000 and network rules for Australia and New Zealand, plus utility practice for DEWA, TAQA, SEC, KAHRAMAA, SP Group, TNB and others. Values are indicative and the local authority always has the final word.
