Preventing nuisance tripping and catastrophic failure of distribution transformers
This webinar explores protection and monitoring of distribution transformers to identify common problems in industrial applications. Our transformer specialist will address the inspection, electrical test and calibration of protection devices.
This information is essential to help an asset manager understand what corrective actions and maintenance strategies can be taken to reduce the risk of nuisance trips & catastrophic failure. This webinar will include several instructive case studies.
Beyond DGA - Will Your Gassing Transformer Fail?
This webinar explores the use of dissolved gas analysis (DGA) to identify advancing failure modes in a power transformer. Our transformer specialists will then detail electrical test and inspection strategies that can be applied to comprehensively assess the severity of an existing problem and what corrective actions can be taken to reduce the risk of failure. The webinar will also include several instructive case studies.
Transformer Oil Sampling Course
Oil sampling and analysis provides an insight into the health status of a transformer. When combined with other electrical tests and sound engineering knowledge, oil analysis can provide a powerful tool to diagnose and assess the condition of your transformers.
The quality and accuracy of the analysis and diagnosis is only as good as the quality and accuracy of your oil sample.
Sampling oil with the appropriate equipment, using the correct technique, and executed by competent personal, ensures that your condition assessments will be reliable, repetitive and reproducible.
Partial Discharge Short Course
HV Cables, Switchgear, Switchboards
We believe that it is important to empower end users with the knowledge they need to holistically manage and maintain their assets. Offering a wide range of training from basic electrical asset design through to complex condition monitoring techniques. This training includes classroom presentations consisting of four modules over 8 hours.
High Voltage Machines Training
Improve electrical machine maintenance in your business by training staff in common standard inspection, test and maintenance procedures. This training includes classroom presentations consisting of four modules over 8 hours. Upon completion of this training, participants will be assessed for competencies by the following method:
• Online multiple choice examination to be completed within one week of the training
A certificate of attendance will be presented to each attendee.
Electrical Machines Lifecycle Maintenance
The seven basic elements to the “lifecycle” of an electrical machine are;
design
manufacture
procurement
installation
operation
repair
reliability
The maintainability of electrical machines is dependent of making the correct considerations around each element of the “lifecycle”.
This course is designed for engineers and tradesman involved in making every day maintenance decisions around electrical rotating plant. The course will cover all elements of the electrical machine “lifecycle”, their interrelationship and the importance of making the right maintenance decisions.
