Power Transformer Design and Testing
This online engineering PDH video presentation will explain the different types of transformers including oil-cooled, air-cooled, different core types, and will focus on the most important parameters of the transformers.
CT and PT instrumentation and protection, including magnetic core or Hall Effect types are discussed. The presentation will describe the transformer major components and functionalities. For example, main tank cooling; deaerator; bushing and load tap changers. Electrical and oil dielectric testing methods, including DGA - Dissolved Gas Analysis, are explained with examples. The student will understand the most important issues related to the power transformer major components, and learn important techniques required to properly design and test power transformers.
This 2 PDH video presentation is intended primarily for electrical engineers, technicians, and others who are interested in enhancing their knowledge of power transformer design and testing.
