In Partnership with

This Power Transformer Seminar has been developed for electrical engineers and technical personnel involved in the purchasing, planning, design and operation of a utility or industrial power distribution system.

The primary intent of this seminar is to provide information on some of the important performance characteristics – electrical,mechanical, acoustical and thermal – which will facilitate the intelligent application and operation of transformers.

In order to benefit from this seminar, you should hold an Electrical Engineering degree or equivalent experience and some familiaritywith the design and operation of power systems.

General Information

Part I Content & ScheduleSeptember 29 - October 3, 2003

This seminar will review the basic theory associated with transformer design. It will begin with an introduction to circuit and magnetic theoryand material considerations important in transformer applications. Transformer design and its relationship to performance characteristicswill be discussed. Important considerations in transformer application including loading, short circuit characteristics and sound level will be

reviewed. The dielectric system of the transformer and insulation coordination requirements for proper transformer application will be dealt with aswell as routine and design tests including impulse, loss, and heat run tests. The utility’s perspective on transformer application, operation andmaintenance will be presented. The seminar will conclude with an open discussion of topics of concern to the participants.
