HV work stands for High Voltage work. It involves handling electrical systems or equipment that operate at high voltage levels, typically above 1000 volts (1 kV). High voltage can be found in power transmission lines, transformers, switchgear, and other electrical infrastructure.
Since HV work can be dangerous, it requires specialized knowledge, skills, and precautions to ensure the safety of those working with or near high-voltage systems. This work is done by trained professionals who follow strict safety protocols to prevent electrical shock, equipment damage, and other hazards.
Examples of HV work include:
HV work requires proper insulation, protective equipment (like gloves and safety suits), and sometimes even de-energizing the equipment before work begins to minimize the risk of electrical hazards.

Examples of HV work include:
- Installation and maintenance of transformers: Transformers that step up or step down voltages in power systems.
- Power line maintenance: Work on electrical transmission lines that carry high-voltage electricity over long distances.
- Switchgear operation: High-voltage circuit breakers and switches used to control or protect electrical circuits.
