CURRENT TRANSFORMER TESTING FUNDAMENTALS

Overview

This interactive 2-day course focuses on theoretical background with practical field experience to provide engineers and technicians with the vital knowledge for offline electrical testing of current transformers. For each test, there will be an in-depth discussion of each measurement, physics behind the measurement, setup and test methodology, and acceptance criteria. There will be an in-depth discussion of each measurement, its purpose, and expected results. A Vanguard specialist will provide training to decipher and review apparatus test results so that they are clear and easy to understand.
