ABOUT THIS VIRTUAL INSTRUCTOR LED TRAINING (VILT)
Electrical machines, mainly power transformers and electric motors are critical
equipment that run production, and it must operate without any abnormalities. A
wide variety of tests and standards have been developed to assist manufacturers
and users of motors and transformer winding, assess the condition of the
electrical insulation.
The objective of this training course is to provide an understanding of power
transformers and electric motors, their materials, components, and how they
operate. It will also emphasize the importance of transformer life management,
especially for those transformers and electric motors which have been in
operation for than 10 years. The course will address in detail all aspects
related to transformer principles, calculations, operation, testing and
maintenance.
Training Objectives
This course aims to provide participants with the understanding of the
fundamentals and constructional features of power transformers and electric
motors, with particular reference to the design, testing, operation and
maintenance of transformers in power systems.
Delegates will gain a detailed appreciation of the following:
* Practical solutions for specifying, operating and maintaining power
transformers and electric motors in a utility or plant environment
* Comprehensive understanding of principles, protection, maintenance and
troubleshooting of power transformers and electric motors
* The necessary safe procedures relating to transformer operation and related
circuitry
* Understand the principles of operation of the transformer and electric motors
* Identify the different features of power transformers and electric motors
* Appreciate the principles of transformer design, ratings, winding, core
structure and materials, insulation and cooling methods, insulation and
lifetime
* Utilize thermal limits and loading guides of transformers
* Analyze transformer and electric motors failure modes
Target Audience
* Engineers of all disciplines
* Managers
* Technicians
* Maintenance personnel
* Other technical individuals
Course Level
* Basic or Foundation
Training Methods
The VILT will be delivered online in 4 half-day sessions comprising 4 hours per
day, with 1 x 10 minutes break per day, including time for lectures, discussion,
quizzes and short classroom exercises.
Additionally, some self-study will be requested. Participants are invited but
not obliged to bring a short presentation (10 mins max) on a practical problem
they encountered in their work. This will then be explained and discussed during
the VILT. A short test or quiz will be held at the end the course.
Trainer
Our key expert is actively involved in electrical inspections, energy audits,
energy efficiency and technical consultation for M&E activities for industrial
and commercial sectors.
He is involved in testing and commissioning works of factory substations of up
to 132kV system. He previously worked for Jimah coal-fired power plant in Port
Dickson for 9 years with his last position being Electrical Maintenance Section
Head. He was involved in the commissioning of coal-fired power plant mainly with
500kV generator transformer, 934 MVA generator, and up to 33kV MV motors and
switchgear panels.
Our key expert has managed the maintenance team to perform routine maintenance
activities (together with supporting tools such as motor lube oil analysis,
infrared thermography analysis, transformer oil analysis) & electrical
troubleshooting and plant outages for critical and non-critical equipment.
Besides that, our key expert has published several IEEE conference papers and
journals such as:
