Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Chemical and Power Plants training course for Professionals
5 DaysEnergy Efficiency and Sustainability in Chemical and Power Plants training course for Professionals
The British Academy for Training and Development offers Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Chemical and Power Plants training course. This Transformer Operational Principles, Selection and Troubleshooting training seminar will explore a few essential aspects of power transformers. Power and distribution transformers are the most important and most expensive components of power systems: Their failure could cost a huge amount and could also be dangerous to the other major equipment and personnel alike, besides imposing extraordinarily high costs on the electrical installation. Noticeably, the application of oil-filled transformers and dry-type transformers is increasing due to their remarkable performance. New smart and innovative transformers have found their way due to increased demand for electrical power and an attempt to reduce carbon footprint. Due to digitisation, the substation operations have brought efficiency in electric power transmission and distribution. The design and functioning of any transformer should follow certain principles for it to sustain the electrical, thermal, and mechanical stress put on it during its service life. Tests and maintenance carried out on transformers in accordance with the appropriate standards are undertaken to ensure that a transformer passing each of these tests will function for many years without fault under any reasonable set of conditions after it is installed.
