Transformers and its affiliated are major components of electrical power systems. This course combines theoretical and practical aspects of switchgear and transformer design, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting. The course emphasizes the importance of the magnetic properties of the core design on the transformer’s operational performance and electrical properties, as well as voltage techniques for testing switchgears and its related components such as instruments transformers, cables, protective devices and switches. It addresses economic trade-offs of transformers and switchgears in real-world applications. Using the latest technology, this 5-day course addresses the above objectives by covering the successful types and operation of transformers, load tap changers, switchgears, circuit breakers, relays and fuses. Participants will learn detailed information about the equipment’s basic design, operating characteristics, specification, selection criteria, advanced fault detection techniques using DGA analysis and Duval’s triangle, critical components, and maintenance issues.

TRAINER
Your expert course leader is a professional engineer with extensive experience in power system studies, substation design field-testing, and EHS programs settings for Mining and Electrical Utilities sectors. He was formally the Engineering Manager at GE Canada in Ontario. He received his M.Sc. in electrical engineering from the University of New Brunswick and his MBA from Laurier School of Business in Waterloo. He has managed and executed more than 150 engineering projects on substation design EMF audits and power system studies and analyses, EMF audits and grounding audits, for major electrical utilities, mines, oil and gas, data centers, industrial and commercial facilities in Canada and the U.S. He is a certified professional engineer in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta.
He has various IEEE publications, has served as a technical reviewer for many IEEE journals in power systems and control systems, and is the chair of the Industry Application Chapter (IAS) for IEEE Toronto Section. He remains a very active member for the IEEE substation committee of IEEE Std. 81 ground testing (WGE6) and IEEE Std. 80 ground design (WGD7). A certified electrical safety trainer by GE Corporate and a Canadian Standard Association (CSA) committee member at the mining advisory panel for electrical safety, he also taught many technical courses all over Canada to industrial customers, electrical consultants as well as to electrical utilities customers.
