HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING (FOR TRANSMISSION

Course Overview:

As utilities reassess equipment to upgrade existing infrastructures or build new ones, Power Engineering is undergoing significant change. There is a need to train engineers and technicians in the fundamentals of High Voltage (HV) technology, equipment and test techniques. This course covers HV test and measuring systems, as well as analysis techniques applied to power system apparatus such as cables, insulators, transformers and generators.

Course Objective:

By the end of this course the participant will be able to:

Gain some knowledge regarding the techniques of measurement of testing high voltages which are normally used for the evaluation and testing of transmission system equipment.

Learn about the philosophy of testing, types of testing and standards associated with testing of various power equipment used by electrical power industry.

Acquire the relevant information on the procedures used for evaluation of some high voltage apparatus.
