08:30 - 10:15 AM | Reliability Threats & Failure Mechanisms I

Examines contamination, core degradation, end-winding discharge, grading-coat breakdown, and voltage-stress issues. Real-world examples show how environmental and design factors lead to insulation failure or core heating, and how to mitigate through proper cleaning, bracing, and material control.

10:15 - 10:30 AM | Tea & Coffee Break

10:30 - 12:15 PM | Reliability Threats and Failure Mechanisms II

Focuses on thermal ageing, loose windings, load cycling, high-resistance joints, and mechanical ageing of rotors and stators, linking damage to electrical, thermal, or mechanical causes and applying root-cause analysis for corrective actions.

01:00 - 02:45 PM | Electrical & Mechanical Testing Methods

Covers insulation and machine diagnostic tests (excluding PD), including IR/PI/DAR, DC Step Voltage, Tan Delta, Hi-Pot, Impedance Balance, EL-CID, Wedge-Tightness, End-Winding Resonance, and Current Spectrum Analysis, with focus on technique, safety, and data trending.

02:45 - 04:30 PM | Partial Discharge Testing & Interpretation

Covers partial discharge (PD) in high-voltage windings, including instrumentation, standards, inception/extinction voltage, test setups (off-line/on-line), coupling methods (HFCT, EMC, TVA), phase-resolved pattern analysis, acceptance criteria (IEC 60034-27 / IEEE 1434), and asset-health trending, with practical case studies of insulation deterioration in HV motors and generators.
