New course at the TA is now open for registration – sign up for the first e-lesson of the Partial discharge measurement for power transformers course!

E-lesson #1 will be held on 25 May.

 


PD Course - e-lesson #1 - illstration 850 x 400

The first live e-lesson in this Transformers Academy course fully authored and presented by Stefan Tenbolhen, will be held live on Tuesday, 25 May 2021, at 2 PM CET. Hurry up and get the room link now!

The course is intended for utility engineers, both young and senior, especially those respnsible for condition assessment and maintenance of power transformers, manufacturers of transformers, transformer components, monitoring systems, sensors, etc., students and anyone wishing to understand the scientific foundation of PD measurement, anyone interested in a deeper awareness of partial discharge measurement and interpretation and staff who are responsible for transformers and want them to be more operational and efficient.

The first e-lesson, conducted on the basic level, will shed some light on the following topics:

  • Description of PD phenomena
  • Effects of PD
  • PD quantities
  • Equivalent circuit of PD
  • Measurement setup PD acc. IEC 60270
