Course Background:
The EPIRA law mandates reliability, efficiency, and practically zero downtime in substation
apparatus operation. Technical services group, power system maintenance team and
facilities maintenance engineers are the front liners in ensuring the asset longevity
operation and recovery of investments.
The unpredictability of operation lies in the way substation assets are maintained and this
technical training will guide experienced power transformer maintenance engineer
improve his knowledge based on international standards.

Course Fee:
Php 14,740.00 per person inclusive snacks, lunch, and certificate of completion.
At the end of the training, the participants will receive the following:
 Certificate of completion
 Continuing Professional Education points (as required by PRC and IIEE)
Substation Apparatus Maintenance in Predictable Ways:
This practical course provides you with methods and procedures used internationally.
Predictive, periodic or condition based (on line diagnostics and monitoring) maintenance
are the basic which methodology is predictable. The course includes a novice, or an
experienced maintenance technical staff should know to be effective as a test engineer, and
for an advanced test engineer to learn new concepts in power transformer testing, filtering,
and interpretation.
The course will also focus on issues related to causes of bushing breakdown, arresters, oil
impedance, leakage reactance and most of all short circuit rating a transformer can
withstand.
Please note the course content does not include DGA (dissolved gas analysis) completely.
Course Outline
At the end of the program, the participants will be able to:
 Discuss basic transformer fundamentals.
 Understand the latest transformer technology.
 Discuss making of a transformer.
 Enumerate basic oil and transformer testing methodology protocol.



Identify and solve concerns of on the job practices.
Discuss equipment application.
Demonstrate actual IPF methodology and testing procedures.
