Substation Maintenance and Diagnostics
Technical Training Seminar - October 27-28, 2008 - Tuscany Suites Hotel - Las Vegas, NV
Announcement
Substations are some of the most critical assets owned by utilities and large industrial sites. A vast array of diagnostic tools have been developed to enable you to assess the condition of your substation equipment. Available methods include visual inspections and sophisticated electronic measurements such as vibration, acoustic, infrared analysis and laboratory evaluation of insulating fluids.
Weidmann Diagnostic Solutions has assembled a collection of highly experienced and knowledgeable instructors to increase your expertise in these vital subjects. An additional highlight of this educational opportunity will be an onsite inspection of a nearby utility substation. Instructors will demonstrate some of the techniques described during the lectures.
