The 15th Institution of Engineering and Technology
International School on High Voltage Engineering & Testing
Thistle Hotel, Newcastle, UK
7 - 11 July 2008
Need a testing top up or getting involved with high voltage for the first time?
This successful International School is now in its fifteenth year. The School provides an appreciation of present day high voltage transmission and distribution engineering, major equipment design and testing techniques. It is ideal for everyone working in the HVET field, whether you are a new graduate, entering this area of industry for the first time or an experienced engineer wishing to extend the breadth of your knowledge as part of your continuing professional development.
The programme of lectures will cover an overview of transmission and distribution systems, technical, commercial and strategic considerations, major aspects of high voltage engineering and high voltage testing systems together with relevant case studies. There will also be an opportunity to visit the NaREC (New and Renewable Energy Group) Clothier Laboratory to witness live demonstration examples of pre-breakdown discharge activities for DC, AC & switching impulse voltages.
Delegates will also receive a copy of the Institution of Engineering and Technology book on High Voltage Engineering and Testing, plus supplementary material to complement the lectures.
Key Benefits of Attending:
- Gain the most up-to-date training from leading experts in the HVET field
- Take advantage of live demonstrations at NaREC’s Clothier Laboratory
- Meet and discuss issues with your peers in the industry
- Take away a set of up to date notes that will prove useful throughout your career
Who Should Attend?
The School will be suitable for experienced engineers, newly appointed graduates in national grid companies, regional electricity companies, manufacturers, testing laboratories, consulting groups, academics, students and others wishing to familiarise themselves with current developments in HV transmission and distribution engineering, equipment design and testing techniques. This is a truly international course with delegates participating from more than 30 countries in earlier Schools. |
