Power Transformers training course

This training course on power transformers addresses aspects like design & construction, protection, oil, condition assessment, testing, maintenance and more.

Power transformers are vital components of the power supply infrastructure. Their reliability, availability, life cycle cost and residual life expectancy depend to a significant extent on how they are designed, built, operated and maintained. This course will help participants understand the basic principles of power transformers and the associated utilization issues.

Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to discuss your questions with internationally reputed transformer experts, exchange experiences and practical examples with fellow participants. 


Subjects:

  • Basic transformer theory
  • Transformer design and construction
  • Specification, quality assurance and testing
  • Transformer protection
  • High-voltage and short-circuit transformer testing
  • Dielectric fluid: electrical insulator, thermal conductor and condition indicator
  • Condition assessment, inspection and diagnosis
  • Remaining life estimation
  • Maintenance and transformer asset management

A visit to Royal Smit Transformers B.V. will also be part of the program.

Result:

  • Understanding of how transformers are designed, constructed, protected and operated
  • Knowledge of how to specify and assure the quality of transformers
  • Insight into transformer maintenance, condition assessment and lifetime estimation

Target Audience: 
Asset engineers, asset managers, technical consultants and anyone else dealing with the design, specification, operation, maintenance and protection of power transformers.

On request, DNV can also provide in-company training (content, location and duration can be adapted to you specific wishes). Please contact us for more information.
