The morning session of this practical, hands-on, technical seminar will review the technology required to conduct the various tests that need to be done during the design, installation and commissioning phases of a new electrical system, from the measuring of soil resistivity to the design the correct earth method for that site, and then for ensuring that the correct insulation and installation tests are performed before the system "goes live".
The afternoon session will look at what is required to maintain a live system to ensure that it operates efficiently, and most importantly that should a serious fault occur, the system will absorb the fault energy and keep the system safe. This includes the monitoring of power quality and load distribution cable conditions, and on-line earth checking.
In each case we will discuss why each test is performed, how the instrumentation does the actual test, and what type of result to expect. We will also discuss which pieces of equipment need calibration and why. Where possible, there will be a demonstration of the actual tests being conducted on a live installation, and where this is not possible, on a simulated system.
Equipment demonstrated during the tests will include earth testers, earth bond testers, insulation testers, installation testers, digital multi-meters, PQ analysers, PQ loggers, thermal imager, IR thermometer, 1AC 5320 calibrators, 418x heat sources, etc.
