Understanding Power Transformer Nameplates and Its Application to Testing
Presenters: Travis Keller, Senior Client Service Engineer, Doble Engineering
Abstract: How great it would be if we could just see inside the transformer! Unfortunately, that is typically not the case, and the internal components of a transformer are not accessible for inspection. Luckily however, we do have the transformer nameplate, and with proper understanding, the information it holds can prove to be invaluable for the technician, engineer, and asset manager. This webinar will discuss the information found on a typical transformer nameplate, what it means, how it relates to the internal configuration of a power transformer, and the relevance of that information to your testing.
