Emeritus Professor Akhtar Kalam’s Electrifying Mysteries
This webinar series provides a structured examination of real-world engineering challenges. Each session will address specific, technically focused topics relevant to engineering professionals.
Webinar details
An on-load tap-changing transformer appeared to alter its tap position without operator intervention. The phenomenon raised concerns regarding equipment integrity and network stability. This presentation examines control circuits, voltage regulation schemes, and unexpected interactions within transformer automation systems.
- The webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.
- A certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.
