OUR MISSION

Our cer­ti­fied train­ing cours­es will help you to under­stand bet­ter the fun­da­men­tal knowl­edge of elec­tri­cal insu­la­tion on HV machin­ery. These train­ings are designed to help you to under­stand the risk assess­ment on elec­tri­cal machines using PD tools.

The cours­es are ded­i­cat­ed to max­i­mize the use­ful­ness of your knowl­edge. You have access to our train­ing resources, such as case stud­ies, white papers, pre­sen­ta­tions and tuto­ri­als.

Regard­less of your installed equip­ment, there are dif­fer­ent meth­ods to improve your oper­a­tions.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

  • Plant man­agers
  • Oper­a­tion man­agers
  • Plant engi­neers
  • Main­te­nance engi­neers and tech­ni­cians
  • Con­di­tion mon­i­tor­ing spe­cial­ist
  • Elec­tri­cal engi­neers
  • Man­u­fac­tur­ers
  • Con­sul­tants
  • Repair shop per­son­nel

What­ev­er your indus­try is, if you are involved in some way with elec­tri­cal machin­ery mon­i­tor­ing and main­te­nance, this course is for you.

CERTIFIED TRAINING IN SMALL WORKING GROUPS

Our cours­es inte­grate the­o­ry, prac­ti­cal work and case stud­ies in a relaxed atmos­phere, designed to enhance your learn­ing expe­ri­ence. The exam will take place at the end of the train­ing course and suc­cess­ful appli­cants will receive «Lev­el» cer­ti­fi­ca­tion in accor­dance with all elec­tri­cal stan­dards: IEC, IEEE and oth­ers.

All cer­ti­fied spe­cial­ist will receive per­son­al­ized cer­tifi­cate with num­ber and name for their own pro­fes­sion­al use.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The main focus is on the­o­ret­i­cal and prac­ti­cal knowl­edge, con­cern­ing high volt­age equip­ment fault pos­si­bil­i­ties and how to rec­og­nize prob­lems in time to plan the out­age and act before cat­a­stroph­ic fail­ure or dam­age occurs.

You will fin­ish our train­ing course with
a sol­id under­stand­ing of:

Maintenance strategies on HV machines

  • Glob­al main­te­nance on high volt­age machines
  • Insu­la­tion main­te­nance

Fundamentals of electrical insulation on HV assets

  • High volt­age cir­cuits
  • Sta­tor wind­ings for motors and gen­er­a­tors

Partial discharge theory

  • Elec­tro­sta­t­ic phe­nom­e­na
  • PD in HV machin­ery
  • Elec­tri­cal dis­charges

Partial discharge
measurement

  • PD sen­sors
  • On-line mea­sure­ments
  • Off-line mea­sure­ments
  • Stan­dards:
  • IEC Stan­dards
  • IEEE Stan­dards
  • Oth­er Stan­dards

PD recording and
presentation

  • Con­nec­tion to sen­sors
  • Com­put­er record­ing (on- and off-line)
  • Noise can­cel­la­tion
  • Glob­al indi­ca­tors
  • PRPD pat­terns

Insulation assessment using PD analysis

  • Trend analy­sis
  • Polar­i­ty pre­dom­i­nance
  • Load effect
  • Tem­per­a­ture effect
  • Mul­ti­ple fail­ure mech­a­nism
  • PD char­ac­ter­is­tic of fail­ure mech­a­nism

We are offer­ing you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to not only learn these top­ics, but to tru­ly under­stand the analy­sis data so that you feel con­fi­dent in the deci­sions you will make.

We can also build spe­cial train­ing to meet spe­cif­ic cus­tomer require­ments. Spe­cif­ic stud­ies and quo­ta­tions can be pro­duced on request.

WHO WE ARE?

We are a group of a high lev­el spe­cial­ists with her­itage on diag­nos­tic and exper­tise for elec­tri­cal equip­ment for more than 25 years. Our mem­bers are also par­tic­i­pat­ing in the IEEE com­mit­tee, Swiss Elec­trotech­ni­cal Asso­ci­a­tion and are  mem­bers of IEC Work­ing Group and oth­ers.
