This course provides a foundational understanding of the internal and external elements of the transformer, the essentials of transformer operation and maintenance implementation and related industry standards. It covers the chemical, mechanical and electrical components of the transformer, the purpose and operating characteristics of these components, the significant requirements and methods for maintenance, and the major testing involved in maintenance.
Topics covered:
Transformer Design
Transformer Oil
Ageing Behavior
Treatment for Ageing Transformer Assets
Interpretation of oil data
Transformer Preventive Maintenance
OAE Substance
20+ old Transformers
…see topic outline
Target Audience
Electrical Technician, Maintenance and Reliability Engineers, Transformer Maintenance Technician, PM/PdM Specialists and other related personnel
Instructional Methodology – Design to impact performance
This course has been developed following a systematic approach which identified the learning needs for transformer maintenance professionals. We met with industry experts and plant reliability professionals to determine the specific skills needed to perform transformer maintenance tasks. These needs were analyzed to guide the development of the instructional materials and methodologies used during this course. This course has been designed to create a learning environment which support adult learning principles to maximize the transfer of the course knowledge to the student. Specific features include interactive exercises, case studies, and hands on examples as well as class discussions conducted through a facilitative approach.
