Power Transformer Maintenance
(2 days)


Performing periodic maintenance on substation transformers helps to ensure they are functioning properly and reduces the chance of catastrophic failures. This course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required for effective maintenance of power transformers. It covers the principles, techniques, and best practices involved in inspecting, testing, and maintaining power transformers to ensure their reliability and longevity.

This class benefits:
anyone seeking understanding of power transformers and associated equipment used in substations and switchyards;
those who desire to broaden their knowledge of transformer maintenance procedures;
anyone in the electric power industry needing an understanding of the tests and maintenance procedures used on power transformers to monitor health condition and extend useful life.

The amount of times I have tried to find a decent photo of a blank sketch book is too many. So I decided to create a few, starting with this one.
