Learn practical methods for specifying, testing, and maintaining two of the most common power system components
This course will expand your knowledge of motor and transformer operations by teaching you how to determine correct motor and transformer connections, and how to specify and apply the proper motor or transformer to meet load requirements. Numerous classroom workshops will reinforce your learning and give you the confidence to apply the knowledge you gained from attending this course when you return to your job.
Learn practical information about the two most important types of electrical equipment. In this course, you’ll learn how to apply, specify, operate, maintain and engineer the installation of power transformers and electric motors and associated equipment in an industrial, commercial, institutional, or electric utility setting.
This course will have deep focus on 3 crucial topics: Become familiar with standard transformer factory tests and how to interpret their
results, learn the basics of transformer oil chemistry and how to understand Dissolved Gas Analysis results, understand how to perform and interpret electrical and mechanical field tests on motors. The trainer uses animations, particularly on motors and rotating magnetic fields to clarify concepts. Photos will be used throughout the course (show specific types of motor failure.)
By learning both in a single short course, what is learned about one will reinforce knowledge regarding the other. Certain aspects may be easier to understand in the context of a motor, or vice versa. One difference between motors and transformers involves connections: motor stators are connected either delta or ungrounded wye, while transformers have more connection options. This is covered in the
transformers section.This course assumes basic familiarity with transformers and motors, although in-depth knowledge is not necessary.The course moves from a basic level into more advanced topics. This course will fill in the “missing pieces.”
Utility, plant, or consulting engineers and technicians involved in the selection, specification, application, operation, testing
maintenance, installation, or engineering of the installation of motors or transformers.
