Current and Voltage Transformer Testing and Commissioning

Instrument transformers feed protection and metering systems, so errors in current and voltage transformers ripple through the whole substation. This course gives delegates the skills to test, verify and commission these devices correctly. It supports reliable protection and accurate revenue metering for African utilities and industry.
