Course overview:
Electrical transformers play a crucial role in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power by stepping up or stepping down voltage levels to ensure efficient energy transfer. They are widely used in power plants, substations, industrial facilities, and commercial applications to maintain system stability and optimize energy consumption. However, transformers are subject to various stresses, including electrical, thermal, mechanical, and environmental factors, which can impact their performance and lifespan.
Proper operation, regular maintenance, and condition monitoring are essential to ensuring transformer reliability and preventing unexpected failures. One of the key aspects of transformer maintenance is oil analysis, which provides valuable insights into the internal condition of a transformer. Transformer oil serves as both an electrical insulator and a coolant, and its degradation over time can indicate potential faults such as overheating, moisture ingress, insulation breakdown, and gas formation due to arcing or partial discharge.
This comprehensive course provides participants with in-depth knowledge of transformer types, working principles, maintenance strategies, diagnostics, and oil analysis techniques for condition monitoring.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand transformer fundamentals, components, and working principles.
• Identify different types of transformers and their applications.
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on transformers.
• Analyze transformer oil for insulation quality, contamination, and degradation.
• Interpret oil analysis reports and take corrective actions to ensure transformer reliability.
• Diagnose common transformer faults, including overheating, insulation breakdown, and moisture ingress.
• Implement condition monitoring techniques to improve transformer performance.
• Apply safety measures and industry best practices in transformer operation and maintenance.
Who Should Attend?
This course is ideal for:
• Electrical Engineers & Technicians
• Maintenance & Operations Personnel
• Power Plant Engineers
• Substation Engineers & Technicians
• Utility & Industrial Electrical Personnel
• Asset Managers & Reliability Engineers
• Oil Analysis & Condition Monitoring Professionals
• Anyone involved in transformer operation, testing, and maintenance

IN HOUSE AND ONLINE TRAINING
While both In-House and Online training can present with cost-effectiveness and time-efficacy, there are some very specific differences between in-house courses and those based online.
The demand for additional courses by individuals or groups of people is increasing. Still, it depends entirely on the preferences of a person what type of training he or she wants to receive. Online courses and in-house training carry some similarities but they are considered to exhibit some very pivotal differences too. Despite that, both types of learning can be really beneficial for attendees.
