Overview
This interactive 3-5 day seminar combines theoretical background with practical field experience to provide engineers and technicians with the vital knowledge for off-line electrical testing of power transformers and other high-voltage electrical apparatus. For each test, there will be an in-depth discussion of each measurement, physics behind the measurement, setup and test methodology and acceptance criteria. In-depth discussion of each measurement, its purpose and expected results. Doble specialists will train you to review and decipher apparatus test results so that they are clear and easy to understand.
Learn from Doble’s collection experience from working with 1,000’s of transmission, distribution, generation and industrial clients globally.
Practical field testing demonstrations could extend training for a fourth and fifth day provided they can be coordinated well in advance along with information about objects to be tested.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
- Understand the various off-line electrical tests at factory acceptance, transportation, installation and over asset life-cycle.
- Establish benchmark results to significantly increase diagnostic value of future tests.
- Understand when to perform specific off-line routine tests, off-line diagnostic tests and in-service diagnostic tests.
- Recognize different equipment test arrangements for different transformer designs.
- Correlate electrical test result with insulating test results.
- Interpret test results, case studies and numerous field examples.
- Improve asset management through accurate electrical asset condition assessment.
- Manage critical asset risk by learning to detect faults early.
