For industrial companies such as mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, and infrastructure, managing partial discharge in high voltage networks relies on an important principle: forewarned is forearmed. In this webinar, EA Australia’s Managing Director Neil Davies will cover key strategies and tactics to protect your switchgear from partial discharge and avoid unexpected failures and losses. … Read more
Most transformers rely upon a combination of insulating oil and paper to provide insulation both between phases and phase and earth. Transformers are probably the most reliable components on the high voltage networks, having few moving parts. However, they are subject to long term ageing and degradation. Thermal degradation of the insulation occurs during life. … Read more
It’s here! The much anticipated next generation of the electricity distribution ‘Common Network Asset Indices Methodology’ also known by the catchy acronym CNAIM. Developed for the assessment, forecasting and regulatory reporting of asset risk in Great Britain, this methodology is based on more than 20 years of development and experience. This new version replaces its 2016 predecessor, for … Read more
