Design of power transformers
Check out the course brochure
Although transformer design has been described in many excellent papers and books, each power transformers manufacturer has developed internal tools for adapting physical models in order to calculate their transformer as accurately as possible. This series of lectures will attempt to closely describe to a wider audience the design challenges in meeting all the necessary requirements and their importance to transformer reliability. The course is intended for:
1. Utility engineers supporting maintenance or procurement.
2. Manufacturers of transformers (design engineers; procurement, service, test, PM engineers).
3. Manufactures of transformer components.
4. Students who want to understand transformer design practice and application.
To see the entire syllabus, take a look at the Design of power transformers course the brochure. Here you can select the level which suits your needs best.
