The Electricity Companies have to supply electricity to the consumers at the lowest possible cost commensurate with safety. Power Transformers represent a major capital asset for electricity suppliers. While in service power Transformers must be maintained and monitored in order to anticipate faults and possibility avert any failure. Faults in Power Transformers can occur at any time, and the causes are many and varied. When faults do occur they generally cause loss of supply to customers and loss of revenue for suppliers. So it is imperative that the fault location process is efficient and accurate to minimize excavation time, which results in results in reducing the inconvenience to all concerned. For fault locating to be efficient and accurate technical staff needs to have expert knowledge accompanied with experience in order to attained service reliability. This course is designed to ensure that those responsible for diagnosis, operation, Testing, maintenance and monitoring of power transformers understand the technical issues involved and comply with relevant specifications and requirements.

Objective

After the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Understand the essential characteristics and requirements of Power Transformers.
Appreciate the technical options for diagnosis, Operation, and Testing of Power Transformers.
Apply practices for Fault detection and location for Power Transformers.
Identify Problems and failure modes .
Perform routine & preventative Maintenance and testing of Power Transformers

Audience

Engineers and Technicians from Electrical Power Utilities Companies, Manufactures and Distributors of Power Transformers, Engineering Professional in Petrochemical Companies, and Commercial Buildings. Participants need no specific requirements other than basic understanding of Electricity and Magnetism and knowledge of nature and operation of Power supply and distribution system.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. The delegates will also be encouraged to raise their own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using their own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.
All presentations are made in excellent colorful power point. Very useful Course Materials will be given.
