"The class was great. John Kuffel did a superb job and all of our folks enjoyed it and got a lot out of it. I would highly recommend this class to those who would like to get an in depth understanding of:

  • Corona and factors that affect corona
  • Corona cameras, their operation
  • The proper use of the cameras and Insulators and corona rings
Also, I would also highly recommend this class for those seeking to make sense of the corona they’re seeing during UV inspections and for those who want to make technically sound decisions based on their UV and visual inspections of applicable power system components. "

"All info was presented in a very understandable manner. The class enriched very much my knowledge about UV technology. I have been using Ofil's Superb 5-6 year without official training, taught by other users & self learning. The class was very helpful! qualifying some things I have previously learned, and also teaching new knowledge not previously acquired"

"The class turned out to be very useful, educative. Over 90% of the participants were from the high voltage transmission, substation kind of work. I was most probably the only one from a manufacturing setting and so we use it for a different setting. It was good to mix with this group and review my power knowledge. "

This is what students wrote:

...What really impressed me was that in Day 3 there were 4 cameras in the room! Some of the participants brought their own cameras in the attempt to know more, clear some doubts and compare their performance for different conditions (distance to the corona source, variations of gain, etc). We conducted all of these tests...
