On-Demand Level 1 & 2 Partial Discharge (PD) Training

If you or your team are responsible for MV and HV electrical assets, knowledge of PD condition monitoring can help you avoid unplanned outages on your network resulting from electrical insulation failure.

Our Level 1 & 2 PD training courses cover the theoretical aspects of assessing insulation risk – giving you the knowledge you need to make maintenance planning decisions for your network.

Attending our training sessions will help you gain an understanding of how PD can cause insulation failure, leading to costly unplanned outages. Each course involves a moderated examination, certified by our qualified PD engineers. Please get in touch with our team today by filling out our online form.
