Transformer Diagnostics Course

Testing of transformers is important for both manufacturers and end users. Manufacturers need to be certain their units are meeting the desired specifications, while end users need to perform regular maintenance procedures to detect minor fault symptoms before timely and costly failures occur. This course is designed to help transformer manufacturers, utility and contract workers, repair companies, and research labs satisfy their testing needs.

This training is usually held over the course of 2 days.

Learn How To

1. Measure insulation resistance
2. Measure polarization index
3. Perform winding resistance measurement for any size transformer
4. Assess condition of transformer insulating oil with dielectric withstand tests
5. Measure short circuit impedance of power transformers at reduced current
6. Measure power factor and dissipation factor to detect aging and deterioration within the insulation of the transformer
7. Run three-phase and single-phase turns ratio meters (TTR)
8. Perform capacitance and tan delta testing
9. Conduct frequency response analysis to verify mechanical/electrical integrity
