OLTC – All levels
OLTC COURSE
The “On-Load Tap Changer” (OLTC) course is designed for engineers working with power transformers, especially those involved in testing, diagnosing, and maintaining substation equipment. The course consists of eight lessons, each lasting approximately 45 minutes, covering basic to advanced concepts related to OLTCs, their construction, operation, testing, and maintenance. The course is divided into three levels: Basic, Intermediate, and Master’s.
Key Learnings:
The course offers insights into both the theoretical and practical aspects of OLTCs. Participants will learn how to perform and analyze testing on various types of OLTCs, including dynamic resistance measurement and motor current analysis.
It emphasizes hands-on diagnostics, including the identification of common faults and failures using structured testing methods. This course provides a comprehensive learning experience for those looking to enhance their knowledge and skills in managing and maintaining On-Load Tap Changers. The lessons will ensure that participants gain the expertise to troubleshoot, improve, and optimize OLTC operations, ensuring better performance and reliability of power transformers.
