As a result, the need to ensure the reliability of operation of power systems is paramount. Power transformers and switchgears are among the most important and most expensive components of power systems; their failure can impose extraordinarily high costs on plants, factories and utilities of all descriptions. It is critical that all personnel operating and working with such equipment have a sound knowledge of their operational requirements and maintenance. This course introduces the new technologies of electrical equipment maintenance and monitoring. On the other hand detailed knowledge on both the theory and operation of Transformers, Switchgear components are introduced. The course will develop and enhance an understanding of what is involved in the maintenance of these essential components of the power systems, through the tips and tricks learnt and developed by some of the World&#8217;s pre-eminent electrical engineers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Transformers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transformers main functions and classification<\/li>\n<li>Operation of power transformers in a power system<\/li>\n<li>Transformer Types<\/li>\n<li>Power Transformers Earthing Systems<\/li>\n<li>Power Transformer Electrical Tests<\/li>\n<li>Ac Tests<\/li>\n<li>Power factor tests (Insulation, Oil, and Bushings)<\/li>\n<li>Single Phase Excitation Current Test<\/li>\n<li>Transformer Turns Ratio Test<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Power Cable Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cable construction and the methods to splice or terminate the various types of cable.<\/li>\n<li>Electrical code and splicing<\/li>\n<li>Difference between hot shrink stress cones and Cold shrink<\/li>\n<li>Examples of Stress cones and failure caused by poor installation<\/li>\n<li>Videos on stripping high voltage cable for termination<\/li>\n<li>Example of stripping high voltage cable<\/li>\n<li>Construction of shielded and non-shielded cable<\/li>\n<li>Cable installation methods<\/li>\n<li>Methods of testing cables and interpretation of test results<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Power Transformer Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Function and operation of electrical transformers.<\/li>\n<li>Interpret nameplate data<\/li>\n<li>Air cooled versus oil cooled;
