Tad PGS
We have an outstanding career opportunity for aTest Technicianto join a leading Company located in theWaukesha, WIsurrounding area.
This position develops expert-level skills to perform testing of large power transformers and their components during the Final Acceptance Test (FAT). Transformer testing comprises several key procedures, including control wiring checks for the verification of fans, LTC, and electronic monitor operations, and Low/ medium-voltage tests like ratio, capacitance, Hipot, and frequency response. FAT includes high voltage testing to verify guaranteed performance (Losses) and thermal characteristics in addition to dielectric testing like lightning & switching impulse, Induced Overvoltage Test, and partial discharge measurements.
Responsibilities :
Primary duties will be to perform various tests listed below on large Power Transformers complying with IEEE standards and HV Safety protocols per NFPA70E, including Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) and Fall protection while working at heights
Control Wiring and Instrumentation: Perform comprehensive pre-test verification and testing of control wiring and instrumentation, following schematics, test procedures (TPs), test standard operating procedures (TSOPs), and device manuals. Set and program electronic and PLC-based instrumentation, troubleshoot, and correct wiring errors
Low/Medium Voltage Testing: Perform preliminary and low-voltage electrical tests (up to 10KV) in both manufacturing and test floor environments; this suite of tests encompasses Doble, Hipot, resistance, DGA, and CT Test
Test Setup/Support: Setup and teardown of test equipment and transformers for/after Dielectric and performance tests
Performance Testing: Conduct performance tests like Transformer losses and Sound level measurement, which can be up to 345KV and 20,000A
High-Voltage/DiElectric Testing: Conduct high-voltage tests such as Lightning Impulse, Switching Surge, and Applied voltage and induced overvoltage test, that can be as high as 2000KV
Nonconformity handling, including documenting, investigating, and segregating parts
Basic Hiring Criteria :
Associate's degree in Power, High Voltage, Electrical Engineering, Utilities Engineering, Electro-magnetic or an equivalent major; or 2 years' experience with Transformer Factory Acceptance Testing or Field Commissioning Testing
Alternate Education with Experience: Certified (Industrial Journeyman/Master) Electrician or completed 2/3/4 Years degree in any discipline with a minimum of 2+ years' experience in testing/ design/field service/manufacturing activities in a transformer or similar manufacturing plant or with Electrical utilities
Desired Qualifications :
Advanced knowledge of electrical theory and safety protocols for high-voltage systems
Ability to accurately read and understand electrical and electronic circuit blueprints, wiring diagrams, and schematics
Using test instruments such as multimeters & oscilloscopes
Proficiency in mathematical calculations, including algebra, scientific notation, and unit conversions, to solve formulas and verify tolerances
Skill in interpreting and applying technical procedures to document out-of-tolerance or non-compliant test results
Troubleshoot test failures and investigate root causes using established technical procedures, standard operating procedures (SOPs), or engineering guidance
Document, investigate, and properly segregate nonconforming materials and products
Perform basic preventive maintenance and maintain a clean, organized work environment, including the workstation, test equipment, floor, and office, in line with 5S methodology
Maintain strict attention to detail during testing and documentation to ensure accuracy and compliance
Utilize electronic calculators and Windows-based applications with a high level of competency, including data entry into electronic systems
Communicate effectively with customers, engineers, and peers in English, both verbally and in written form
Interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams to test, troubleshoot, and resolve wiring errors in electrical components
Perform high-voltage testing and maintenance on heavy electrical equipment, such as transformers and switch gears
Execute tests and perform diagnostics on equipment using three-phase power sources.
Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair equipment issues using LabVIEW and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs
Military connected talent encouraged to apply.
