Power Transformers - Transformer Life Expectancy & Extension (PowerPoint PPT Slide Deck)

This program covers the Theory, Operation, Maintenance, Diagnosis, and Testing of Power Transformers and Auxiliary Equipment. The complete Transformers program consists of 12 modules (individual PowerPoint presentations).

This document refers to the training module 12 only: Transformer Life Expectancy and Extension. Specific topics covered include:

•  Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
•  Insulation System Ageing Factors
•  Transformer Lifetime Extension

Upon the successful completion of the full Transformer Operations program (all 12 modules), you will be able to:

•  Operate, maintain, troubleshoot and test power transformers in a professional manner
•  Discuss the basic concepts of transformer covering the main electric parameters and laws, magnetism and electromagnetism, Lenz and Faradays Laws, circuits, star and delta connections, theory, the role of transformers in power systems, standards, regulations and voltages
•  Identify the various types and construction of transformers
•  Describe special transformers as well as enumerate transformer components and materials
•  Determine cooling of transformers, transformer performance and electrical parameters
•  Recognize transformer faults and employ proper protection, operation and factory acceptance test (FAT)
•  Install, test and commission transformer efficiently
•  Carryout transformer maintenance, routine inspections, diagnostic analysis, life expectancy and extension
