Electricity is high-grade energy. Working in the electrical substations needs to be able to deal with the power & distribution transformers. All staff managers, administrators, engineers or technicians need to understand the power & distribution rules and their applications also learn the requirements of power & distribution transformer maintenance and testing and be able to understand the protection system of power and distribution transformers.

This course is designed to raise  the  level  of  electrical  engineers  deal with  the  power and distribution  to  provide specific guidance to those who must implement and follow the associated procedures.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Develop a thorough understanding of Electrical power transformer Rules and their application.
• Understand individual responsibilities for distribution and power transformers in Substations
• Understand trouble shooting of power transformers
• Learn the detailed procedures for testing of distribution and power transformers standards
• Understand the role of power transformers parallel operation
• Learn requirements for the maintenance of power & distribution transformers and how to carry out the maintenance
• Develop an understanding of the role of switchgear and associated protection in transformers
• Be able to identify key issues for the improvement of their company’s power & distribution transformers operation

• Engineers and Technicians from electricity supply industry
• Technical Management Professionals and Department Leaders
• Engineering Professionals from companies manufacturing and operating power and distribution transformers
• Engineers and Technical Personnel in power utilities, petrochemical plants, service professionals of large infrastructure projects.
