Course Description
Introduces the new technician to and provides critical information for the experienced technician on the basic theory associated with Transformers. This training covers: basic transformer design, physics and associated math; and visual inspections, electrical testing, and applications of various types of transformers. Additionally covered are the proper methods for drawing transformer fluid samples and basic introduction to the analysis of such samples, and hands on testing of a distribution transformer. This is a 10 hour classroom course and 6 hour lab.
Prerequisites: AC/DC Theory
Course Duration: 2 days at 8 hours
