SYNOPSIS   

Trapped key interlock and its solution is one of the best practices preventing human error in high-risk industries. This presentation will begin by exploring the relevant ISO standards (ISO 14119 and ISO 19837) that govern the design and implementation of safety interlock systems.

Implementing a trapped key interlock solution into project and switchgear maintenance ensures that personnel cannot access potentially dangerous areas without the switchgear being put in a safe state. A well-designed interlock solution will also ensure that the system operates correctly and there is no chance of, for example, switching two incoming feeders on a to a common bus bar, or gaining access to an energized cabinet.

And we will bring theory to life how TKI is applied in renewable energy projects and Data centre projects, including,

In renewable energy,
•   Application in Solar PV Farm, RMU, MV transformers, HV and GIS
•   Application in Wind turbines

In Data Centres,
•   UPS Bypass maintenance, power switching during bypass maintenance
•   Application in LV/MV /HV switchgear
•   Safety access to Converters & Transformers
