Power Transformer Testing Author: Velimir Lackovic Transformers may be tested using either AC or DC voltage. AC voltage is preferable to DC voltage for transformer testing because it simulates the internal stress that the transformers face during operating conditions. This course is suitable for engineers interested in learning about commonly used transformer testing procedures. It... Learn More
Power Transformer Maintenance Author: Velimir Lackovic Transformer preventative maintenance involves routine inspection, adjustment, testing, minor fixes, and special handling instructions. The trouble-free and reliable operation of transformers over their usable life depends on proper installation, operation, and maintenance. This course provides an overview of the typical procedures that are performed as part of transformer preventive... Learn More
Power Cable Testing Author: Velimir Lackovic This course covers power cable testing procedures including visual inspection, cable failures and their analysis, insulation and conductor defects, field testing of medium voltage cables and different cable testing methods. It covers issues related to different failure types such as mechanical failures, overheating, chemical actions etc. and ways to... Learn More
Low Voltage Switchgear Author: Velimir Lackovic Arc Low-voltage switchgear generally refers to metal-enclosed or metal-clad low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear that is rated for 600V alternating current (AC) and below. The metal-enclosed switchgear is completely enclosed on all sides and the top with metal sheets, has stationary primary power circuit switching or interrupting elements, or... Learn More
Generator Protection Author: Velimir Lackovic Protection relays are used as part of generator protection schemes, and they are available in various configurations that allow them to be used under a variety of conditions. These protection relays protect the generator or prime mover from damage, and they also provide protection for the external power system and... Learn More
