This Learning Plan is comprised of all 32 Modules that make up the complete “Transformer Management 1” Course.
Transformer Management 1 (TM1) is intended to lay a strong foundation for those who are in any way responsible for transformer maintenance. Students will gain a basic understanding of transformers, oil and electrical tests, maintenance principles, and the importance of a reliable electrical power system.
30 minute Modules / each .05 CEU / .5 PDH
Those who purchase this Learning Plan will also receive, via USPS mail, FREE of charge the 3rd Edition of the Transformer Maintenance Guide (a $149 value)
Included Courses
This Learning Plan is designed to create awareness of transformer management from a reliability perspective.
This Learning Plan will identify transformer components and subcomponents. It will describe the functions of the components and the elements of design that affect maintenance including core configuration, winding type, conductor material, solid insulation type, cooling, and oil preservation.
This Learning Plan will cover the importance of the solid insulation in transformers. Attendees will take an in-depth look into the mechanical strength of the paper, and will understand that maintaining mechanical strength of the solid insulation is critical to extending the life of the transformer.
This Learning Plan will cover the four functions of insulating liquids in transformers. It will identify the aging mechanism of mineral oil, understand the use of inhibitor, and cover the application of alternate fluids.
This Learning Plan will address the problems created by moisture in transformers. It will cover percent saturation, percent moisture by dry weight, and why those responsible for transformer maintenance need to understand the importance of managing moisture in their transformer fleet.
This Learning Plan will cover the scope of DGA and the formation and sources of dissolved gases in mineral oil immersed transformers. It will review the interpretation tools and guidance of the IEEE standards. It will cover how to identify furan content and how to understand furan testing.
This Learning Plan will cover the various field electrical tests performed. It will cover a description of the test, the purpose of each test, and how to interpret the results. This class includes several case studies for real-world examples.
This Learning Plan will cover the importance of extending the reliable life of the transformer by mechanical maintenance, electrical maintenance, and fluid maintenance. It will cover the corrective processes used in extending the life of the insulation system of the transformer. It will compare/contrast these oil processes and their performances.
