Atividades desenvolvidas durante o estágio supervisionado no Laboratório de Alta Tensão - UFCG.

Abstract

The High Voltage Laboratory (LAT, from Portuguese Laboratório de Alta Tensão), belonging to the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG, from Portuguese Universidade Federal de Campina Grande), is, in its specialty, the best equipped laboratory in the North-Northeast of the country. Thus, it is an excellent place to get experience in the area of Electrical Engineering, especially in the field of Electrotechnical. The activities developed during the supervised internship were performed in this laboratory. The internship took place between September and November 2019. During the internship process, it was possible to participate in various activities, involving electrical testing, reporting, provision of services to companies in the electric sector, prototyping of a Metal Oxide Surge Arrester (MOSA) monitoring system and training courses. Among the tests performed, the following stand out: testing with live line equipment; typical tests for MOSAs; accelerated aging test of MOSA; and typical insulator tests. To solidify the knowledge associated with each of the tests, reports were prepared for each of these tests. Throughout the internship, activities to optimize a MOSA monitoring system were performed, such as: tests performed in low and high voltage laboratories. Regarding the insulator tests, each one of them was monitored. In addition, activities aimed at professional training were offered by the laboratory, such as the Regulatory Norm (RN) 10 course. Moreover, it was possible to perform field measurements to construct a grounding mesh. Considering these activities, it was possible to get practical experience from the Electrical Engineering area, in view of its contribution to professional training.
