COURSE OVERVIEW:

The transition of a power transformer from the factory to the substation site is a high-risk operation that requires precise engineering control. This course provides a technical framework for "Installation and Commissioning," focusing on the procedures required to ensure the unit is energized in a pristine state. Participants will explore the mechanics of "Heavy Lifting" and "Transport Monitoring," learning how to interpret "Impact Recorder" data to identify potential internal damage during shipping.

The scope of this training addresses the full spectrum of on-site activities, including "Assembly," "Vacuum Processing," and "Oil Filling." It covers the technical nuances of "Pre-Energization" testing, focusing on the verification of ratios, vector groups, and insulation integrity. The curriculum provides a detailed focus on the commissioning of "Auxiliary Systems," ensuring that tap changers, cooling fans, and protective relays are fully functional and integrated into the substation control system.

Coverage includes the implementation of rigorous safety and environmental protocols, such as "Oil Spill Containment" and "High-Voltage Testing" boundaries. Attendees will learn to execute "Frequency Response Analysis" (FRA) as a post-transport benchmark and to perform "Secondary Injection" on protection circuits. By combining logistics expertise with electrical engineering, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to manage the complex commissioning of large power transformer assets.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the stages of "Transformer Site Delivery" and inspection.
• Interpret "Impact Recorder" data for transport damage assessment.
• Execute "Assembly" procedures for bushings, radiators, and conservators.
• Perform "Vacuum Drying" and "Oil Filling" under strict parameters.
• Verify "Transformer Ratio" (TTR) and "Vector Group" alignment.
• Execute "Insulation Resistance" (IR) and "Dielectric Absorption" tests.
• Perform "Frequency Response Analysis" (FRA) for site benchmarking.
• Commission "On-Load Tap Changers" (OLTC) and "Motor Drives."
• Test "Cooling Systems" (Fans and Pumps) and control logic.
• Perform "Primary and Secondary Injection" for protection relays.
• Conduct "Oil Sampling" for DGA and dielectric strength baseline.
• Implement "Energization" protocols and "Post-Load" monitoring.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Commissioning Engineers, Substation Project Managers, Installation Technicians, and Site Supervisors.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
