Why Attend This Training Course?

Participants will learn safe and proper installation, maintenance, repair and troubleshooting and testing procedures on power transformers used in commercial and industrial power distribution systems and receive instruction on the filtering and drying out process to be performed on transformers. Larger power transformers used in utility applications are also covered. This course uses up-to-date test equipment and procedures for evaluating the condition of a transformer. Test results can provide predictive data which will guide maintenance activities and help to prevent catastrophic failure that may damage downstream equipment and endanger personnel. ACAD is ready to help design this program for you and deliver it on your premises, tailored to your specific equipment and requirements.
