Course Overview:
This course will focus on transformer and substation equipment testing and diagnostic analysis, including general apparatus construction, test theory, test application and performance, and results analysis. Through this course you will develop a better understanding of the purpose and interpretation of the following tests: Dielectric Testing; Exciting Current and Loss Testing; Turns Ratio Testing; Leakage Reactance & Loss Testing; Sweep Frequency Response Analysis Testing; Winding DC Resistance Testing.
Performance of the test is one thing. What the measurements tell you about the apparatus is another. For any apparatus test, proper results analysis is the most important aspect. The general construction, theory, and test application/performance discussions are just to lay the groundwork for the importance of results analysis, where most participants will get the greatest benefit. There is a problem with your transformer, but you are not sure what it is. What testing should you perform? The third day of this training will utilize case studies to help answer this question.
No one test will tell you everything you need to know about the condition of your apparatus, and for a variety of reasons you may not always be able to perform every test available. Understanding not only what each test can tell you, but also how individual results can be used to confirm - or contradict – the data of other tests will help you make that decision.
