How a webinar works

All EASA private webinars are live events in which the audio and video are streamed to your computer over the Internet. Prior to the program, you will receive a web link to join the meeting. 

The presentation portion of the webinar will last about 45 minutes, followed by about 15 minutes of questions and answers.

Requirements

  • Internet connection
  • Computer with audio input (microphone) and audio output (speakers) appropriate for your size group
  • TV or projector/screen

The Zoom webinar service EASA uses will ask to install a small plugin. Your computer must be configured to allow this in order to have full functionality. Please check with your IT department or company's security policy prior to scheduling a private webinar.

Private Webinars

EASA's private webinars are an inexpensive way to bring an EASA engineer into your service center, place of business or group meeting without incurring travel expenses or lost production time.

Concerns about partial discharge (PD) used to be limited to repairers and users of machines rated over 7 kV. PD is a common consideration for machines rated 11 kV and higher. This article will describe PD, explain how to detect it, and offer repair solutions.

What is partial discharge?
Air, like Nomex®, Mylar®, mica and Dacron®, is an insulator. Like any insulation, it will break down electrically if subject to too high an im­pressed voltage. Air is capable of with­standing approximately 75 volts/mil (3000 volts/mm), as compared to mod­ern insulating materials rated many times higher. (See Table 1.)
