The design of any transformer must fulfill certain requirements in order to withstand the electric, thermal and mechanical stresses during its service life. These requirements are detailed in the relevant standards together with any special conditions outlined in the specifications of the purchaser of the transformer. Tests of transformers according to the relevant standards are intended to ensure that a transformer passing them will give trouble-free service for many years under the conditions it is likely to experience after its installation. This training course will provide an understanding of Power Transformers, their materials, components and how they operate. It also emphasizes the importance of QAQC in relation to transformers. The course will address in detail all aspects related to transformer principles, calculations, operation, testing and maintenance.
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
• Refresh your knowledge of the basic theory of transformers
• Understand the principles of operation of the transformer
• Identify the different features of power transformers, distribution transformers and instrument transformers
• Appreciate the principles of transformer design, ratings, windings, core structure and materials, insulation and cooling methods, insulation and lifetime
• Be familiar with construction of the transformer, transformer winding connections
• Recognize the effects of transformer load changes and off-load and on-load tap changers
• Utilize thermal limits and loading guides of transformers
• Analyze transformer failure modes
• Perform transformer maintenance and transformer testing
