COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of power transformers. It covers the testing of protective relays for a power transformer, transformer winding and dielectric tests, transformer oil, inter-tripping connection and the results of each test; the causes of common failures of transformers; the different types of transformers and insulation material used for the winding and core lamination; the routine checks for existing power transformers; the requirements of a design data sheet; the conditions required for the parallel operation of two transformers; the different types of cooling for transformers; the effect of abnormal load conditions on the transformer performance; and the circuit diagram for the main protection of a power transmission transformer.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the requirements for FAT test; the tests required for new transformers; the effect of harmonics on transformers; the types and applications of transformers tap changers; the inrush current for a power transformer; the sizing calculations for a power transformer; the required data input and results; and the preparation of data sheet for equipment and its requirements.
