Two Important Tutorials at the September Client Conference and Committee Meetings

This year's September Doble Client Conference and Committee Meetings in Philadelphia will feature two informative tutorials, Transformer Factory Testing on Sunday and Personal Protective Grounding on Friday. The Transformer Factory Testing Tutorial is intended for individuals who witness and approve the result of these tests. The tutorial will concentrate on two of the more significant groups of tests commonly performed - dielectric tests and temperature tests. The Personal Protective Ground Tutorial is for those individuals performing hands-on maintenance of de-energized high voltage lines or equipment requiring the application of personal protective grounding.

This event is open to Doble utility and testing company clients ONLY.
