Training Course Overview

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

Training Course Objectives

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

Designed 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
