Practical Aspects Improving Performance in High Voltage (HV) Rotating Machines

Dates & Locations

Overview

Improving performance in today’s High Voltage (HV) Rotating Machines requires a combination of knowledge and expertise. This course covers the working knowledge and practical aspects of design, construction, operation and condition assessment of HV AC machines.  Attendees are empowered with in-depth knowledge of how to increase performance, carry out front-line assessments and produce plant status reports. Kinectrics’ international engineering specialists provide comprehensive training on turbo-generators (air and hydrogen cooled) HV motors, testing and failure analysis.
