Transformer Oil Course – Master’s Level
Transformer Oil Course covers basic, intermediate and master’s level. You can subscribe individually, or to all levels at once.
Master’s level topics are listed here:
1. Moisture dynamics – Changing equilibrium in a transformer and its interpretation on the asset health
2. Oxidation of oil – Mechanisms in a transformer, consequences of ageing of oil and corrective actions
3. Copper corrosion – Major causes, mechanisms and mitigation techniques
4. Furanic compounds – Mechanism of formation in a transformer, analysis, interpretation on paper degradation
5. Emergence of methanol as a chemical marker for paper degradation
6. DGA of mineral oils – Chemistry of formation of different gases and principles of interpretation methods
7. HSE aspects in mineral oils – A comparison with alternative fluids
8. Dielectric properties – A comparison of mineral oils and ester fluids
9. An objective assessment of alternative fluids vis-à-vis mineral oils – Performance, stability, design, cost
10. Maintenance standards for ester fluids (synthetic and natural esters)
11. Nanofluids
The links to all of the lessons individually will be available as the sessions are being scheduled.
