Electrical Substation Equipment Aging - School of Continuing Education, University Of Wisconsin

	Electrical Substation Equipment Aging

	This program presents fundamental concepts of electrical equipment aging in a user-friendly format that addresses the needs of designers, technicians, project managers, engineers, analysts, and others who are involved in the maintenance or operation of transmission systems, distribution systems, substations, generating stations, or power plants. Key parameters are incorporated into practical examples of accelerated equipment aging. Examples of recent equipment failures that have been analyzed in a forensic laboratory are presented.
Who Should Attend ▼ This course is intended for craftsmen, engineers, supervisors, and managers who are responsible for performing, supervising and scheduling maintenance activities; determining periodic maintenance needs; or determining end-of-life for substation components. Close ▲ Benefits and Learning Outcomes ▼ Become acquainted with aging mechanisms Identify recognized failure modes and aging indicators Gain insight into periodic and in-service testing Save money by being proactive and avoiding repair/replacement costs Close ▲ Course Outline/Topics ▼ Day 1: Introduction Materials Used to Fabricate Electrical Components Degradation Mechanisms - Degradation Mechanisms for All Materials - Specific Electrical Degradation Mechanisms Manufacturing Issues Life Cycle Considerations Critical Material Properties Conductors Insulators and Insulation Mechanical Protection Support Structures Indicators of Aging Service Life Day 1: Monitoring, Testing, and Observations Monthly Inspections Data Bases, Historical Data, Trending Instrumentation Scheduled Maintenance Unscheduled Maintenance Electrical Tests Other Tests Thermography Forensic Analysis of Failed Components Day 2: High Voltage Components Typical aging mechanisms and leading indicators of degradation are presented for the following high voltage components: Insulators Insulating Covers Bushings Transformers Circuit Breakers VTs CTs (free standing) CCVTs Air Break Switches Reclosers Buses & Bus Duct Cables Cable Seals and Cable Terminations Generators Motors Capacitors Day 3: Low Voltage Components Typical aging mechanisms and leading indicators of degradation are presented for the following low voltage components: Control Relays Protective Relays Lockout Relays Low Voltage Circuit Breakers Fuses Fuse Holders CTs Cables Connectors Batteries Battery Chargers Uninterruptible Power Supplies Capacitors Close ▲
