INTRODUCTION
This training course is designed to provide participants with the skills to understand the requirements of a comprehensive Testing, Analysis and Troubleshooting programme to maintain and prevent major faults from occurring in Power Transformers.
The Power Transformers training course is targeted at technical personnel working in the Medium to Large Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution Systems, particularly in the power transmission utilities.
The training course covers a wide range of topics relating to Power Transformer function, design, maintenance, testing, and analysis and troubleshooting. The training course begins with a brief overview of how power transformers are constructed along with their major components, and then provides detailed information on the maintenance of these transformers, including testing, analysis of test results and troubleshooting.
The training course is designed to be beneficial for beginners and experienced personnel alike, on the assumption that all persons will have some experience or knowledge of Power Distribution and Motor Control in Utilities, Process or Manufacturing plant environment.
This training course is interactive and encourages delegates to participate through questions and answers, along with opportunities to discuss with the presenter specific issues which may result in appropriate solutions.
