Other Courses

  • Distance Protection

    In the first session of the program, we will discuss the basic measurement principle and construction of the distance protection. Distance protection is a complex protection and basic understanding of the protection makes the user extremely comfortable in working with this complex protection. This 2- hour webinar provides a good insight on the construction of the distance protection and some basic application criteria. This webinar will enable the protection engineers to feel extremely comfortable with the complex protection. Understanding the complexity of the protection increases system reliability and increases the productivity of the test engineers. 


    In the second 2-hour session we will concentrate mainly of testing and protection evaluation aspect. The meaningful testing of the complex digital protection will be discussed using the commercially available power system simulators. 


    Use of ComTrade data in protection evaluation will be discussed in detail. Learn more here.

  • Insulation Power Factor Training for Power Transformer

    This course provides participants  with current methods and procedures used internationally, on predictive, periodic or condition based maintenance  (condition base is - on line diagnostics and monitoring).


    The course is for substation maintenance staff or less experienced in power transformer tresting , or an experienced maintenance technical staff.  This program will also cater to advanced test engineer to learn new concepts in power transformer testing, oil recycling or oil filtering concept, and basic results interpretation. The course will also focus on issues related to causes of bushing breakdown, arresters, oil, impedance, leakage reactance and most of all short circuits rating a transformer can withstand. Learn more here.

  • Introduction to Partial Discharge Testing

    This training program will provide participants Introduction to basic application of Partial Discharge Testing in HV Electrical Assets in the substation.  This program will show how to measure, and how large  a partial discharge in a system? The partial discharge measurements also show the PD testers, how to use them show the   surge tests and PD spikes. Learn more here.

  • Competency Training on Power Quality and Harmonics

    This training is focused on  power quality issues that affects  the electrical system’s operations, more importantly when harmonic frequencies and its harmonic current and voltage affect the Distribution System that contributes to losses.  The Grid Code requires, commercial, highrise residential buildings,  industrial plants, and Utilities to comply within the  Standards.  The increasing demand and applications of non-linear load in industries nowadays greatly affects the quality of the power system.  This program will enhance the knowledge and practices of facility managers, maintenance and technical people at site and more importantly to save energy.
