Introduction

The accurate diagnostic of the transformer is very important to establish the degree of the aging of transformers. Several experimental tests and theoretical analyses have been carried out to obtain parameters associated with the advances on understanding failure processes and troubleshooting.

The collect relevant data from the analysis can be interpreted and quantified so that a clear picture of the transformer condition is formed. However, this diagnostic data can help to:

• Avoid catastrophic failures e.g. fires following flash over.
• Extend the period of maximum load carrying capability for transformers.
• Select which units that need service and maintenance.
• Extend lifetime of the transformer.
• Avoid the high cost of transformer replacement.

The aim of this course is to enrich and update the knowledge and skills of the participants for achieving a correct diagnostic analysis, interpretation the laboratory analyses, learning new development analysis methods, understanding the effect of the thermal and electrical stress on the transformer, maintenance methods and troubleshooting process. 

The course is interactive and consists of many practical examples and workshops from manufacturing and service industry, which have been designed and structured to enable the delegates to set up and manage continuous improvement projects in their organizations on completion of the course.

Objective

Familiarize participants to the tools and techniques for achieving continuous improvement such as chemical/physical/electrical analysis, run chart, cause and effect diagrams, histograms, and flow charts.

To provide skills, knowledge and understanding of principles and practices of the application of transformer diagnostic analysis.

To solve the transformer problems.

To achieve an advance maintenance methods.

To provide ability to organize and implement continuous improvement projects in the organizations of the participants.

Audience

Engineers, Technicians, Chemist who work in the transformer field i.e. Maintenance Section, Electrical Section, Laboratory, etc. In addition, the course is also available to Management Representatives (MR) and Departmental Managers and Supervisors to select the correct diagnostic analysis quotation.

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
