Course Overview

This course covers the fundamentals of transformer condi on moni‐

toring and asset management procedures. It emphasizes on the tech‐

nical background on which decisions are based. This course will give

the par cipants valuable knowledge which will support their direc ves

and decisions in their daily challenges, instead of an over reliance on

technologies such on‐line condi on monitoring systems to interpret

data.

Course Objec ves

Gain an overview on asset management procedures and tech‐niques for transformers.

Acquire an understanding of the 4 pillars of condi on monitoring: DGA, Record keeping, Visual inspec on and Rou ne off line tests (Bushing, OLTC).

Interpret test results and understand interrela onship of various

tests conducted.

Delivery Method

Instructor‐Led with hands‐on training on Transformer components

plus On Load Tap Changer inspec on.

Who Should A end

This course is designed for middle to senior asset engineers, asset managers

and engineers dealing with specifica on, opera on, maintenance and protec‐

on of power transformers.

“It is very useful and is related to day to day work”

“Good for engineers to value the assets and understand the need to maintain

and to monitor them in order to prolong their longevity”

“Instructor has very good knowledge and experience of transformers and

OLTC. Able to give good examples and share informa on”

“It is a good course for engineers and managers”

Hands‐On Knowledge

Hands on experience

The training centre is equipped with 2 OLTC models for hands on training.

During the third day, the par cipants will have hands on an actual OLTC. During the

day we will dismantle, re‐assemble and install the OLTC. A er which, opera onal tests

and alignment procedures will performed to ensure that it is properly installed.

By the end of the training the Par cipants will:

Understand the basics of transformer asset management.

Understand transformer life cycle and maintenance planning

Learn about DGA in transformer oil

Learn how to maintain transformer components

Understand transformer opera on, aging and failure

Understand on‐line monitoring techniques

Understand the various tests performed before during and a er OLTC maintenance.

Emphasis is put on the hands on par cipa on of the trainees.
