CITI - Corona Inspection Training Institute Advanced PD
Detection Training for UVographers in Rotating Machines
Optimizing Rotating Machine Reliability with Advanced
PD Detection Training
For industries that depend on rotating machines- such as power generation, manufacturing, and electric vehicles – the efficiency and longevity of these critical assets are paramount. Partial Discharge (PD) in electric motors and generators is a key indicator of potential insulation issues. Undetected, PD can precipitate severe equipment failures, necessitating costly repairs and causing unplanned downtime that disrupts operations and inflates maintenance expenses. The Corona Inspection Training Institute (CITI) provides a specialized two-day training course, led by industry experts, aimed at equipping professionals with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to detect and analyze PD using advanced UV imaging technology. This comprehensive program is designed to deepen your understanding of insulation systems, failure mechanisms, and PD theory specific to rotating machines. With hands-on demonstrations, case studies, and guidance from experienced instructors, participants will gain both the theoretical foundation and practical techniques essential for effective PD detection. Whether you work with low or high voltage rotating machines, this course equips you with the insights and skills to enhance machine reliability and operational safety, enabling maintenance teams to deploy proactive strategies that effectively manage and mitigate risks associated with PD.
Participants in this course will learn to:
Navigate Various Stages of Machine Lifecycle
Understand how PD impacts different phases such as design, testing, and manufacturing
Conduct Effective Maintenance and Repairs
Utilize PD insights for periodic maintenance and targeted repair interventions, preventing deterioration and extending machine lifespan
Optimize Machine Performance
Apply PD detection techniques during the optimization and quality assurance phases to enhance machine efficiency and reliability
Enhance Operational Safety and QA
Incorporate PD detection into safety protocols and quality assurance processes to ensure higher standards of operational safety and product quality
