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. 

 

The high efficiency and reliability of power transformers have contributed to the domination of power networks since the beginning of the last century. Transformers play also a key role in the interconnection of power systems at different voltage levels. Without transformers, it would simply not be possible to use electric power in many of the ways it is used today.  Consequently, transformers occupy prominent positions in the electric power system, being the vital links between power generating stations and points of electric power utilization. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of power transformers. It covers the routine tests of power transformer; the awareness on the type tests and special tests of power transformer; the oil immersed transformers; the measurements of insulation resistance in power transformer; the capacitance and power factor for transformers; the partial discharge techniques used in power transformers; and the transformer life assessment and its result.
