Power Transformer – Fundamentals, Operation & Maintenance

Introduction

Participants will be trained on transformer theory such as transformer construction, types of insulating medium, active parts, and cooling system use. The course will also impart information on transformer accessories use, types of transformer protections and how to understand transformer nameplates, the maintenance of power transformers.

This maintenance course will reference the specifications and guidelines from TNB Transmission Division. On the last day, participants will take an evaluation test on the information learned from the course.

What people say?

It was a perfect match seeing that i need to work on my confidence.I actually learnt more skills that is needed for me to be able to develop training programs.

The course definitely helped in improving concepts. It would be great if you add more examples of templates for Training evaluation. This would help in creating better sheets in future. Thanks
