Operation, Installation, Testing & Troubleshooting of Transformers

Introduction:

This course will provide the candidates with extensive knowledge including tips, tricks and tools covering the fundamentals of power transformers and their testing. It will greatly assist you in communicating more effectively with your electrical engineering colleagues. At the end of this course, the candidates will be familiar with the importance of transformer testing and their purpose, the different kinds of transformer tests and their procedures and the practical applications of principals applied in transformer operation and maintenance. This course aims at providing a comprehensive understanding of principles of operation, types, selection, testing and commissioning, protection, maintenance and troubleshooting of electric power and distribution transformers.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

· Gain the valuable know-how used by electrical engineers in operation and maintenance of power transformers
