Live Interview with Josko Papic, Head of QA at Končar D&ST

Joško will tell us more about the ideas that were analysed and implemented in order to achieve the goals set; how they evaluated different measurement technologies, how they chose solutions and how they ultimately increased the testing capacity, while increasing the testing speed and accuracy, statistically reducing measured losses and PD and reinforcing their image as one of the best testing stations for transformers.

Končar D&ST is a manufacturer of distribution, specialised and small and medium power transformers. The company has recently increased the production capacity for distribution transformers by 50 % (from 6,000 to 9,000 units per year), and extension of the testing capacity was part of this bigger project. Such a significant increase in production requires an increase and optimisation of capacities in all business segments. Testing, as one of these segments, is particularly important, since it is defined by several factors (location of the testing station in relation to other production lines, type and characteristics of equipment, people, etc., and above all – safety). We’ll be discussing all these details with Joško.
