A Highly Interactive Training Course On
Partial Discharge (PD) Measurement and Analysis on Power Transformers
Ensuring Transformer Reliability Through Advanced PD Diagnostics
Course Introduction
Partial discharge (PD) is a critical early warning sign of insulation degradation in power transformers and high-voltage equipment. It often precedes complete insulation failure, leading to unplanned outages, costly repairs, and safety risks. This Partial Discharge (PD) Measurement and Analysis on Power Transformers training course provides participants with in-depth knowledge of PD phenomena, equipping them to detect, measure, and interpret PD activity using advanced diagnostic techniques.
Through expert instruction and real-world case studies, participants will gain valuable insights into the mechanisms of PD, the latest measurement technologies, and how to effectively evaluate and mitigate PD-related risks. The course emphasizes practical application, empowering professionals to extend asset life, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance operational reliability.
