OMICRON will hold a 3 ½ day workshop on Aug. 6-9, 2012 at Mississippi State University.
Partial Discharge (PD) phenomena are localized dielectric breakdowns of a small portion of a solid or liquid electric insulation that is subjected to high voltage stress. PD often precedes an insulation breakdown which can result in cost-intensive repairs, and possibly prolonged outages. The measurement of PD is a major criterion for the quality of power systems for assets like cables, power transformers, rotating machines and GIS.
OMICRON will hold a 3 ½ day workshop on Aug. 6-9, 2012 at Mississippi State University. The workshop will introduce attendees to the basics of Partial Discharge, the applications, and various advanced measurement techniques. Through lecture and hands-on demonstration in the High Voltage Lab at Mississippi State, attendees will acquire knowledge about PD measurements on various high voltage apparatus.
Topics include:
Theory and introduction to PD
Summary of International Standards
PD Measurements on Rotating Machines
PD Measurements on Medium Voltage and High Voltage Cables
PD Measurements of Power Transformers
PD Measurement of GIS
Acoustic Partial Discharge Methods
Evaluation of Non-IEC 60270 Partial Discharge Location
