Transformer Technology Design and Operation (UQ)
Course Description:
 
Transformers are an essential component in any electrical system. Correct specification, installation and maintenance determine the viability of the system in which the transformers are installed.
 
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Understand the construction, operation and maintenance of power transformers
  • Be familiar with best practice condition monitoring techniques
A general knowledge of the power transformer is required for this course in addition to basic engineering and mathematics skills.  
What you will learn:
  • Transformer construction
  • Tests before commissioning
  • Installation and operation
  • Protection
  • Condition monitoring and maintenance
  • Onsite diagnostic tests - practical experience on transformer maintenance 
Presenters:
Dr. Chandima Ekanayake is a Post Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Queensland, School of ITEE. He has obtained his PhD in transformer condition monitoring from Chalmers University, Sweden. During past 8 years he has done numerous research works on condition monitoring of transformer insulation with the collaboration of utilities in both Sweden and Sri Lanka. Dr. Ekanayake was working as a university lecturer for two and half years before joining UQ in 2008.
 
Professor Tapan Saha has been involved in transformer condition monitoring research for the last 20 years at the University of Queensland.
