PD diagnostics on power transformers with the MPD 800 (with examination)

Enhance your knowledge on partial discharge testing on power transformers. Become familiar with advance software features of the MPD 800 system. Learn how to identify fault types and fault locations to assess the condition of your assets. Get to know advanced testing techniques in hands-on sessions on special training equipment.

Objectives

Enhancing your knowledge on partial discharge on power transformers
Performing measurements to determine the insulation condition and identify fault types and fault location
Evaluating deterioration processes in power transformers by partial discharge measurements
Monitoring the quality of the production process by performing measurements on assembled parts
Applying partial discharge technology to design or redesign devices exposed to high voltage

Trainees who successfully pass the exam at the conclusion of the training will receive a specialized certificate approved by SEC-CSD.
In the event of failure, individuals will have the opportunity to retake the exam as per the designated schedule.
If a trainee fails for a second time, they will be issued a regular certificate.
