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 240

Hz induced testing >100kV and 3 phase 60

Hz 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.

NOTE:

Must be able to satisfactorily perform a minimum 2 of the Special tests. May perform test in the presence of customers or their representatives during Witness testing.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES TOOLS AND MACHINERY

Hand tools, ladders, electrical measuring meters, mechanical measuring devices, test equipment, system computer, and various computer controlled test equipment. Uses a variety of equipment to include impulse generator, Hi Pot, motor generator, power factor test kit, SFRA set, voltmeters, ammeters, watt meters, ohmmeters, bridges, oscilloscopes and wave analyzers to test a variety of equipment and manufactured parts.

MATERIALS

Arc flash clothing, electrically rated gloves

GENERAL

The successful candidate must be able to read electrical prints, technical requirements and industry standards. All testing parameters are predicated on the transformers design characteristics. The testing is not of the "plug in the wiring harness, push the start button and note the results" genre. It requires first and foremost a safety mindset as well as the ability to configure power supplies and generators and trouble shoot electrical problems.

They must also obtain Arc flash training, follow safe electrical work practices, and take proper precautions to maintain arc flash boundaries for fellow testers and assemblers. Works under minimal supervision.…
