Transformers operation and maintenance

EL-155

Course Description

  • Power transformers are vital components of the power supply infrastructure. Their reliability, availability, life cycle cost and residual life expectancy depend to a significant extent on how they are designed, built, operated and maintained. The degree of maintenance and necessary inspection for its operation depends on its capacity, on the importance within electrical system, the place of installation within the system, on the weather conditions, and the general operating conditions. In this training course the operating instructions and maintenance is supplied. Our intention is to provide the necessary assistance to the maintenance personnel to facilitate periodic inspection of the transformer and to indicate the steps that they should follow to effect a more detailed examination of the active part in case that is required.

Course Objectives

  • Power Transformer design & construction aspects.
  • Critical elements of Power Transformer manufacturing processes.
  • Installation, operation & maintenance aspects
  • Transformer testing-at factory, during commissioning and diagnostic tests in service.
  • Interpretation of test results.

Who Should Attend?

  • Engineers, managers, technical consultants and anyone else dealing with the operation, maintenance of power transformers.
  • New or experienced electricians and technicians that install, maintain, repair or troubleshoot power transformers rated used in utility and industrial applications.
