Attend the lesson to learn the following:

ESSENTIAL

  • Ratings (e.g., phases, frequency, windings, impedance, short-circuit characteristic, 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)

OPTIONAL

  • Choose liquid insulation
  • Choose LTC
  • Choose accessories: time-based maintenance (conventional) versus condition-based maintenance (maintenance-free)
  • When to consider adding DGA/bushings/OLTC online monitoring?
  • What is the main difference between OLTC and DETC and when are OLTC versus DETC specified?
  • What is the main difference between OLTC and VR (voltage regulator)?
