Duration: 20 hours
Course Program Type: Professional Certificate / Continuing Education Program
Course Program Purpose
The Power Transformer Testing programme is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of transformer testing throughout the entire manufacturing and acceptance process.
The course explains the engineering principles, objectives, procedures, instrumentation, and acceptance criteria associated with the complete range of transformer tests, from routine electrical measurements to advanced dielectric, thermal, mechanical, and auxiliary system verification. Participants gain practical knowledge of factory acceptance testing (FAT), type testing, insulation verification, impulse testing, partial discharge measurements, thermal performance evaluation, acoustic testing, auxiliary equipment verification, and mechanical integrity assessment.
Academy Lecturer
Balazs Sztari graduated as electrical engineer in Budapest. Beside of factory acceptance tests, his team performs commissioning, diagnostics and R&D tests on power transformers and rotating machines.
He is currently a member of Cigre A2.53 working group.
Basic Level
