Power Transformer Protection
Course Highlights

This online engineering course presents transformer protection including interturns, tank faults and core faults. It presents information on over-voltages, magnetizing inrush, and overheating.

 

The advancement of electrical power systems has been reflected in the developments in power transformer manufacturing. This has led to a wide range of power transformers. Their ratings range from a few kVA to several hundred MVA and are used for a wide variety of applications. Power transformer protection varies with the application and transformer importance.

 

This 6 PDH online course is suitable for electrical engineers with a desire to understand the power transformers protection fundamentals. Upon successful completion engineers will be able to address the most important power transformer protection aspects, widely adopted protection schemes and arrangements and their proper application.
