Pomona CA, May 24-25, 2016 Transformer Technology Seminar Siemens AG Transformers siemens.com/answers
Why to perform Design Review Meetings? To ensure both parties having the same understanding of the contract, the application and the requirements of the applicable standards and specification. It gives the opportunity for both parties to examine the transformer design to ensure that it will fulfill the requirements, i.e. the technical and also those relating to other aspects of the contract. The manufacturer can verify the use of proven materials, design tools and experience to make sure the transformer will meet the intended performance in service. It gives the chance for an interchange of information between the purchaser and the manufacturer: The purchaser can get a better understanding of the technical capabilities of the manufacturer. The manufacturer can get a better understanding of the needs of the purchaser. Page 2
