    Who should attend?
    This course is suggested for engineers and managers involved with planning and/or operations of electrical power systems. Consultants, application engineers, design engineers and electrical engineers from large industrial plants or municipal distribution systems will find this course very beneficial

     

    Course Synopsis:
    This course is focusing on critical parameters that should be considered during transformer planning and consequent tests, which should be performed prior to transformer's installation to ensure that it meets all performance requirements. Conditions for proper transformer operation are also discussed, from installation, parallel operation to overload limitations.
