EE188: Transformer Design, Construction, Testing & Maintenance EE188 Rev.001 CMCT COURSE OUTLINE Page 1 of 5
Training Description: This intensive training covers the design, theory, operation, maintenance and testing of power transformers and auxiliary equipment. Topics included are transformer fundamentals, transformer ratings, transformer cooling, oil gas systems and insulation systems. The source concludes with in-depth discussions on transformer testing techniques. Students will learn safe and proper maintenance and testing procedures power transformers. The course covers transformers used in commercial and industrial power distribution systems, including oil filed and Larger power transformers used in utility applications are also covered. Load and no-load tap changer maintenance, ac and dc testing, routine inspections and oil sampling and testing are covered in detail. Students will learn how to perform routine oil tests, and understand how to perform the major tests that are required. A variety of electrical test equipment from various manufacturer s will be discussed. Correctly and the specification has been met. The switchgear system can then be put into Operation with Confidence. The completion of Testing and Inspection should also trigger the start of a Cycle of Maintenance of Switchgear System that will keep the system functioning in a safe manner for the expected lifetime of the installation and increase system reliability and enhancing their performance. Training Objective: By the end of the training, participants will be able to: Identify power/instrument and distribution transformer types, components and auxiliary equipment Evaluate transformer configuration for the application Interpret nameplate data Perform and evaluate the results of insulation resistance, wind-ing resistance, turns ratio, core excitation and power factor tests of windings, bushings and liquid insulation Perform oil sampling, testing, drying, filling and filtering Training Designed for: This course is intended for Electrical Engineers those involved in Substation Design, Operation, Maintenance & Testing. Also, Electrical Technologists those working in Substation Networks are recommended to attend this course Training Program: DAY ONE: PRE-TEST Module (01): Introduction Transformer applications Some definitions Transformer Types EE188 Rev.001 CMCT COURSE OUTLINE Page 2 of 5
