Training course overview

Partial discharge (PD) is a key indicator of insulation condition in power transformers and electrical equipment. It frequently occurs before insulation failure, which can result in expensive breakdowns and operational interruptions. This Partial Discharge (PD) Measurement and Analysis on Power Transformers training course on Partial Discharge (PD) Measurement and Analysis for Power Transformers provides participants with the expertise needed to detect, measure, and analyze PD in power transformers. Attendees will learn to use advanced diagnostic tools, interpret data, and implement strategies to reduce risks, enhancing equipment reliability and safety.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the fundamentals of partial discharge and its impact on transformer reliability
  • Learn to use advanced tools and techniques for PD measurement and monitoring
  • Develop skills in data interpretation and root cause analysis
  • Implement PD mitigation strategies to prevent failures
  • Gain practical experience through hands-on sessions and case studies

Who is this training course for?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Electrical engineers and technicians
  • Maintenance and reliability personnel in utilities and industries
  • Transformer manufacturers and service providers
  • Asset managers responsible for power systems

How will this training course be presented?

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes an interactive mixture of lecture-led learning & group discussions.
