Summary:

This training course combines theoretical background with practical field experience to provide engineers, managers and technicians with fundamental knowledge regarding how transformers are designed and manufactured, major transformer components, installation and commissioning, in-service and off-line electrical testing and insulating oil laboratory diagnostic testing. Doble specialists will train you to review test results so that they are clear and easy to understand. Doble encourages participants to bring their unique real-world problems for discussion.

Transformer Design & Manufacturing | 9-11 AM ET
Transformers are tailor made products and many calculated decisions are made throughout the design process, which many of them have a cause-and-effect relationship. This course will walk through the design process for core-form transformers and provide an understanding of the relationship between several electrical, mechanical, thermal and dielectric characteristics and design parameters. Throughout an understanding of the manufacturing process is presented and many of the major transformer components such as insulating materials, bushings, cooling systems, tap-changers, and controls equipment are explained. The key milestone in the manufacturing process is the factory acceptance testing, and this presentation walks through the ins-and-outs of each factory test in order to prepare an individual to effectively witness testing and to review certified test results.

Offline Electrical Testing | 1-3 PM ET
No one test will tell you everything you might need to perform a comprehensive assessment of your transformer. Each test, both as a stand-alone and in concert with other tests, provides specific information with respect to the health of the apparatus. This topic combines theoretical background with practical field experience to provide engineers, asset managers, and technicians with fundamental knowledge regarding the theory, test setup, and diagnostic analysis associated with transformer off-line electrical testing. The course will culminate in the application to real-world case studies, showing the impact of both fault and non-fault related issues on transformer test results

Condition Assessment Through Laboratory Analysis | 9-11 AM ET
The topics discussed in this section will help you to identify and assess rapidly emerging transformer conditions using dissolved gas analysis, oil quality analysis and other diagnostic tests. This seminar combines theoretical background with practical experience to provide engineers, chemists and others who review oil test data with the vital knowledge and hands-on examples that are needed to interpret laboratory results to detect and identify problems with oil-filled transformers and load tap changers. Within the DGA topic, several diagnostic methods will be described that can determine the type of incipient fault condition that exists. These incipient fault conditions can then be linked to the field electrical tests described in Day 2.
