About Lance Beament

Whilst working in the power industry I have been involved in a large volume of high voltage primary and secondary commissioning projects throughout Australia and overseas, from an assistant through to commissioning manager. Below is a brief outline of tasks undertaken on a regular basis: Secondary Testing - Full acceptance and routine testing and commissioning of the following schemes: • Transformer and trans line differential • Trans line impedance protection • Bus protection - high and low impedance • Overcurrent protection • Earth fault and sensitive earth fault protection • Capacitor bank protection • Motor protection • Interlocking and all facets of primary/secondary integration works Primary Testing - • Partial discharge - offline testing • Power transformers (up to 330kV)- advanced acceptance and diagnostics testing • Rotating machines - ELCID testing • CT’s and VT’s - full acceptance and class verification testing • Switchboards & Circuit Breakers/Switchgear - full acceptance testing • Cables, MV and HV - acceptance and diagnostics testing • Earthing system electrical testing • Transmission line impedance • High voltage withstand at 50Hz up to 130kV - all primary plant • HV capacitor bank & reactor testing Test Equipment Utilised - • Omicron - primary and secondary test (advanced experience CPC & CMC) • Doble - primary and secondary test • Megger, ISA, Fluke, Programmer, Phenix, Flir, Mitton, HVA, Torkel, EA Technology +more
