Our group provides training within the framework of the Institute for Continuing Engineering Education's adult education program, as well as specialized education for professionals from external clients, in the following areas, among others:
In our laboratory, through the Dr. Csikós Béla Educational Center we provide training on the necessary knowledge for Live Working (LW or LLW.) Live Working allows for the inspection, maintenance, and installation of network equipment to be performed without shutdowns, utilizing appropriate technologies to maintain continuous operation. This approach ensures uninterrupted service, consistent supply to consumers, and minimizes unnecessary stress on the network from switching operations. Furthermore, it helps eliminate losses associated with service interruptions.
In the High-Voltage Laboratory, the high-voltage and medium-voltage training area offers a comprehensive understanding of live working and thorough practice of live working processes. The laboratory is equipped with certifications and authorizations necessary for live working, ranging from low-voltage to high-voltage operations.
In addition to providing training, the Educational Center conducts research related to live working (LW or LLW). It actively participates in the analysis and development of internationally recognized LW work methods, as well as examining and continuously improving the tools and equipment used in these processes.
Just as we can refer to a "Budapest school" in the fields of lightning protection or insulation technology, Hungary's independent approach has also emerged as a major influence in the field of Live Working from an early stage. The foundations of live working (FAM) in Hungary are attributed to Dr. Béla Csikós. The FAM technology was first used in Hungary in 1967, utilizing specially developed garments made of conductive threads and other domestically developed tools. With this achivement, Hungary was one of the first in the world to implement High-Voltage Live Working (HV-LW) practices, which quickly became internationally accepted and widespread. Since then, the tradion of developint state-of-the-art LW tools and technologies has continued in Hungary.
