Attend this lesson to learn about:

  • ratings (e.g., phases, frequency, windings, impedance, short-circuit characteristics, sound levels, angular displacement, total losses – load and no-load, insulation levels, temperature rise, load conditions, and cooling classes)
  • construction (e.g., tank types, high & low voltage bushings, OLTC, DETC, and surge arresters)
  • accessories (e.g., pressure relief devices, winding & liquid temperature gauges, liquid insulation types, grounding, and sudden pressure relay)

The date of the Master’s level opening session is going to be announced soon.
