Transformers are among the most important and most
expensive components of power systems and their failure
can impose extraordinary high costs on plants, factories
and utilities of all descriptions.
This practical workshop provides knowledge on both the
theory and operation of power transformers. The course
will develop and enhance the 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’s pre-
eminent electrical engineers.
It is critical that all personnel operating and working with
such equipment have a sound knowledge of their
operational requirements and maintenance. At the end of
this workshop, those who attended this workshop will
have gained:
What are the objectives of transformer condition
assessment?
Minimize unplanned transformer outages
Minimize outage time when an outage occurs
Minimize maintenance costs
Eliminate catastrophic faults.
Extend life of the asset.
Create and develop an adequate data base.
Implement improvements to equipments for greater
reliability.
Transformers these days are subjected to severe stress as
a result of continuous over-loading as well as extremely
poor maintenance besides a host of other reasons. These
naturally accelerate the ageing process. As an Asset
Manager, you naturally would want to know the residual life
remaining of your asset.
Do you believe the end of life of a transformer is brought
about by the ageing of the equipment? Most likely, end of
life of a transformer can be brought about by escalating
local defects than to faults.
It is possible to run a transformer under a defect for short
or long periods depending upon the nature and severity of
the defect. If appropriate measures are taken, it is also
possible to reverse some defects before they turn into
faults.
Under a fault, it may still be possible to run a transformer
for a short period of time before a failure occurred. If the
deterioration is irreversible, you’ll have to resort to either
repairs or a replacement.
You can prevent a total failure of your transformer if you’re
vigilant enough and avoid a degeneration of a defect
resulting into a fault which in turn escalates into a failure.
Our experts will tell you how you can do this.

dielectric readings. What is the correct sampling
procedure will be explained in un-ambigous terms.
Transformer Operation and Loading:
Transformers are designed and tested to standards when
they leave the factory and are placed in service. The
transformers are loaded and operated based on the user’s
loading guide lines and maintenance practices.
We’ll highlight how to load and operate transformers by
reviewing factory thermal data and asset health to
determine the loading factor.
We’ll also discuss how to load legacy transformers and
how to be certain your new transformers are meeting your
requirements.
Field Processing of Power Transformers.
Whether due to atmospheric contamination or the by-
products of ageing, the water content of the transformer
will increase with age. At some point, it may be desirable to
remove this moisture as well as any particles from the
transformer. We’ll discuss in detail the pros and cons of
different methods of field processing of transformers.
What happens to ageing Dielectric Oils?
The transformer's insulation is the root of the problem.
Its two components, oil and cellulose paper, interact to
create by-products that decompose the insulation system.
Not only that, the byproducts will increase moisture levels
and create an environment that will overheat the
transformer, which will eventually cause the transformer to
fail.
You must first understand the problem before you can
treat it. In the presence of a catalyst, such as copper,
oxygen will react to form those byproducts that attack the
transformer's insulation paper. Ironically, paper has an
affinity for the very by-products that contribute to its
destruction, compounding the problem. In time, further
reactions will create other destructive byproducts like
acids, alcohols, and sludge. After saturating the paper,
these byproducts will precipitate out and contaminate the

Maintenance Programs:
Basic Maintenance:
To ensure that a transformer operates reliably, it is
important to do routine maintenance when the unit is in
service. The basic maintenance will include visual
inspections, checking silica-gel status, checking oil
leakages, checking cleanliness of bushings, checking
pumps, fans, motors and other accessories. This will not
need an expert; only basic transformer knowledge will be
sufficient.
Advanced maintenance:
Advanced Maintenance Program offered will include oil
cleaning, active part cleaning and drying, and re-clamping
of the windings.
Monitoring:
If a unit is found to be in a critical condition but still usable,
it may be recommended to instal a suitable monitoring
device. This will help to detect potential faults as well help
the customer to effectively plan their maintenance for
optimization of performance of the equipment.
Transformer accessories such as tap changer and
bushings should also be monitored. The output from the
installed monitoring device will give an indication when
such maintenance or repairs will have to be undertaken.
Transformer Fault Finding
Any fault that impairs the proper functioning of a
transformer must be expediently identified and rectified.
Incorrect decisions would result in further damage to the
transformer and inevitable increase in the cost of repairs
and extended down time. Decisions making is often
invested into operational or maintenance personnel with
limited fault diagnostic skills.This course explains main
causes of transformer failure, types of faults that may
occur, as well as the types of tests and their application in a
fault finding process. Through a number of case studies, it
provides guidance on how to interpret the test results. This
course will improve the diagnostic skills and to enable the
attendees to make informed decision for appropriate
corrective action.
Learning outcomes:
Understand the main causes of transformer
failure, examine various types of faults and their
effect on transformers and learn how to diagnose them.
Understand what are the various types of
tests, what is their purpose and their application in a fault
finding process.
Learn how to interpret the test results to identify a
probable cause of failure and make informed decisions on
the appropriate course of action.
Discuss a number of case studies to learn
how to practically apply the knowledge obtained during
this course.
Transformer Testing and Oil Analysis.
From manufacturing to decommissioning, transformers
undergo a variety of tests that are appropriate for various
stages of transformer life cycle. Oil deteriorates with
time and the aging process may be accelerated
by a number of factors. The oil itself can be used as a
diagnostic tool to monitor the condition of transformer
interior and allow timely corrective action to extend
transformer's life. This course discusses various types of
testing and their applications. It covers detailed testing
procedures, what kind of testing is available to monitor the
state of oil and paper and how to interpret the test results in
order to make a decision for appropriate corrective action.
Through a number of case studies, it provides guidance
on what are the key parameters that should be
checked during testing and what kind of results should be
expected.
Learning outcomes:
Understand the various types of tests, what is their
purpose and application.
Learn a number of procedures for electrical
testing used during factory testing, commissioning and
maintenance.
Explore various oil tests and how to interpret
their results to make decisions regarding transformer
serviceability and which corrective measures to apply.

Question: Can any sealant material be used to seal transformer oil leakages?
Answer: No
Many sealants are available in the market for a variety of industrial applications. The
sealants used for repair of oil leaks in power transformers need to have very specific
capabilities. The following properties are important in selection of the proper Before
transformer repair sealant:
1. The sealant material should not be conductive; it should have dielectric properties
similar to oil and paper to minimize potential for partial discharge. With oil and should During - Surface Preperation
not react with or contaminate it so as not to form dangerous gases.
2. The sealant material must be chemically inert. The sealant will be in constant
contact.
3. The sealant material must withstand static pressures of the transformer and any
momentary pressure peaks during occurrences. The sealant material must be tested
and approved for the pressure.
4. The material must have good adhesive properties and be durable, but should be
easily removable.
Question: Is it possible to repair live oil leakage without lowering oil level from tank?
Answer: Yes
With the appropriate sealant material and experienced application personnel, it is
quite possible to arrest live oil leakages in power transformers without lowering the oil After
level in the tank.
Question: Is transformer leak repair a skilled or unskilled task? Answer: It is a skilled
task
Arresting transformer oil leakages is a process that requires extensive surface
preparation and identification and repair of all areas of oil escape. The durability of
repair depends on the quality of repair and skill of the personnel. Only a complete and
thorough job should be accepted by the customer.
