The detection of a power circuit breaker's operation through measuring electromagnetic emissions produced by the arc in the interruptor tube is a promising method for ensuring the remote supervision of these devices and for identifying operation faults before they lead to an explosion. Project researchers will develop an algorithm to determine computationally the position of […]

Progressive tension-increase tests are one of the diagnostic methods currently used by Hydro-Québec for the stator isolation system on its hydro alternators. This test is part of MIDA, an expert diagnostics toolkit in use at Hydro-Québec. The effect of certain flaws affecting the quality of the signal during the test, especially with regard to the […]
