Now, more than ever, it is important to maximize the life of your transformers and keep them in operation.
The average age of transformers is more than forty years - twice their designed life. The current economic climate and the growing need of more reliable and flexible networks - "Smart Grids" - make it essential not only to maintain current assets and postpone their replacement, but also to assess their reliability. This seminar provides the knowledge to understand equipment conditions and their match with expected normal and extreme service conditions in order to facilitate operational decisions in the shortest time.
It will give attendees a basic understanding of Power Transformer design, manufacture, operation and maintenance from a perspective of maximizing transformer life and availability. By understanding the insulation system, operations and maintenance personnel can make informed decisions for purchasing, operating, maintaining and replacing power transformers on their system.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
The three-day Power Transformers Seminar is designed for operations and maintenance personnel who have responsibility for purchasing, operating, maintaining and replacing power transformers. It will focus on maintaining and assessing the integrity of the critical component that dictates the life of a power transformer - the insulation system.
