Millions of electrical distribution transformers are located on utility poles and cement pads across the world. Distribution transformers serve the crucial function of transforming voltage potential to higher or lower values to meet the appliances and machinery voltage level requirements. Improper use, maintenance and neglect can cause heavy losses to businesses as well as to the environment. The course is best suited for employees performing maintenance of transformers rated 34.5 kV or less.

Learning Objectives
• Transformer types, design, cooling classifications, components and indicators

• Interpret nameplate data

• Visual and diagnostic inspections

• Applicable safety procedures

• Perform visual and mechanical inspections

• Perform AC and DC testing including insulation resistance, winding resistance and transformer turns ratio (TTR)

Who Should Attend
Designed for technicians and supervisors that are responsible for the maintenance and testing of distribution transformers rated 34.5 kV or less.

Requirements
Requires working knowledge of basic AC and DC theory. Field experience beneficial, but not required.
