Lead Test Technician - 3rd Shift

About Company: What Does Prolec GE Waukesha Do? JOB SUMMARY To perform a broad variety of tests on equipment and manufactured parts to determine if engineering standards, customer specification & IEEE standards have been met. Prolec GE Waukesha produces primarily 3 phase power step down transformers. PRINCIPLE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Primary operating voltages range from 69kV to 230kV. This position encompasses performing the electrical tests to 1) verify the transformer controls: gauge, instrument and programmable controller operation and 2) transformer dielectric withstand and thermal capability. The controls testing involves employing VOMs and laptop computers to test circuit logic, instrument functionality and performance characteristics. The dielectric testing involves impulse testing to 1M V, Applied Potential testing >400kV, 3 phase 240Hz induced testing >100kV and 3 phase 60Hz performance testing. The test technician will follow blueprints, diagrams, downloads from manufacturer’s web-sites and engineering specifications to set up and perform various test on equipment, manufactured parts and power supplies. Interprets test data, identifies technical problem solutions and writes NCRs for quality problems during their assigned shift as well as the off shift. Makes repairs on assigned test equipment as needed. Performs the necessary test calculations and prepare data electronically as listed below to confirm test are complete and have produced acceptable results: Turns Test Ratio and Polarity IEX and Core Loss DC Resistance Impedance and load loss Induced and Applied Potential Power Factor (INS) Insulation Resistance Heat run – Connect Corona and Impulse – Special SFRA (Sweep Frequency Response Analysis) BCT testing (standard & Omicron test set) Oil Quality testing Dew point testing Sound test Voltage and Current Regulator – Special Electrical Inspection Final Mechanical Inspection Pressure Test Procedure Control Box checkout – Special Top Cover checkout Final Inspection and Sign-off Fabrication Parts Inspection Current Trans.
