On-load tap changers, also known as O-L-T-Cs, are devices fitted on to power transformers that regulate the output voltage to required levels to maintain a stable voltage level in the electrical grid.

To check the reliability of OLTCs, a variety of advanced diagnostic methods have been developed, including the new vibro-acoustic measurement (also known as VAM), which uses vibrations to assess OLTC condition.

In this episode of Energy Talks, OLTC diagnostic experts Dr. Karsten Viereck from Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen and OMICRON applications engineer Christoph Engelen talk about the origins and development of the vibro-acoustic measurement, how and when it is performed, how it compliments other OLTC diagnostic methods, as well as how the data is analyzed.

Building up a well-orchestrated teamwork is the key to performing powerline testing over greater distances more efficiently and safely in quickly expanding power grids. This is the recommendation of Gustav Lundqvist, the founder and CEO of Kraftdiagnos in Sweden and our guest in this episode of Energy Talks.

In this episode, Gustav offers practical tips about performing power line measurements, and explains how he best utilizes his team and testing equipment to perform these potentially dangerous power line measurements over greater distances in a highly safe and efficient way.

Gustav also describes how OMICRON testing solutions save his teams valuable time when performing these measurements remotely in the field and how the testing software enables him to quickly create the reports in a central location.

Large-scale wind parks utilize different types of transformers, including cast-resin, also known as dry-type transformers, installed in the wind turbines.

The most common reason for failure in various types of transformers is the electric breakdown of the insulation due to a wide variety of factors. Partial discharge (PD) measurement and analysis performed during commissioning and in a periodic maintenance plan can reduce the risk of in-service transformer failures.

In this episode, OMICRON partial discharge (PD) testing experts Christoph Engelen and Dr. Alex Kraetge discuss the importance of performing off-line PD measurements on cast-resin transformers used in wind park turbines to prevent their in-service failure. They also describe how the related measurement challenges of limited space and surrounding noise can best be overcome with the right diagnostic methods and tools.
