Objectives
After completion of this course, each learner will have a good understanding of voltage transformers. The learner will have a working understanding of the OMICRON VOTANO 100 test equipment hardware and associated software. The learner will know how to perform test procedures on voltage transformers.
Theoretical session
The participants will be familiarised with the important aspects of different types of tests performed on voltage transformers. Participants will also be educated on the different IEC standards relevant for voltage transformers.
Practical session
The participants will have to apply the gained knowledge. During practical sessions a voltage transformer will be tested. A number of different tasks will have to be performed on the voltage transformer.
