Ronnie Minhaz of Transformer Consulting Services Inc.

Utility-scale transformers are custom designed-built for specific transmission and distribution system requirements. There are many different design approaches, materials and manufacturing processes that can be used to produce utility-scale transformers. These differences can result in varying levels of system performance, power transfer efficiency, fault tolerance, equipment life, cost and the like.  This two-day workshop will provide instruction on the many options available for the design and manufacture of utility-scale transformers. It will cover TAPS, Quality Assurance inspection (Pre-tanking and FAT Test) and receiving, assembling, install and test of transformer at site. It will also provide insight into specifying the design and manufacture of transformers that are most appropriate for specific system requirements.
