Power and Instrument Transformers are critical and expensive components of the electric energy system, maintaining safe and reliable operation is essential.

Technology has made the fundamental principles of energy transfer a complex set of mathematical algorithms used to improve the four main areas of a transformer’s design: mechanical, electro- . magnetic, dielectric and thermal Before attending the Advanced Transformer Maintenance and Testing training course it is recommended the attendee complete the Transformer Maintenance & Testing course.
The course will be covering:
•Gain knowledge about transformers and apply information attained.
• Theoretical and practical training on testing power and instrument transformers.
• Provide conceptual knowledge of the latest revisions of national and international.
• standards, related to testing and diagnostics of power and instrument transformers.
• Ability to generate a testing plan based on availability of instrumentation
Evaluate the electromechanical condition of the transformer based on fundamental testing practices supported by advanced diagnostics techniques.
• Evaluate the condition of the insulation system of the transformer based on fundamental dielectric testing practices and advanced diagnostics techniques.
• Understand the effect of moisture in insulation.
• Determining the most practical, efficient, and cost effective method to extract the moisture from the insulation system.
• Perform advanced diagnostics, repair or return to operation of tested units.
• Estimating “loss of life” of power transformers.
• Understanding of the aging process of transformers, including recommendations to
scrap, replace or declare end of service of a unit.
Who Should Attend
Before attending the Advanced Transformer Maintenance and Testing training course it is recommended the attendee has:
