Electrical Transformer Components (Video On Demand)
Credit: 1 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: Jonathan Russell, BEng (Hons)
In Electrical Transformer Components, you'll learn ...
- The main components of an electrical transformer (core, windings, etc.)
- How a Buchholz relay works
- How oil level measurement works
- How transformer temperature measurement works
Overview
Electrical transformers are a common sight in any electrical distribution system. In order to understand how power is transmitted through an electrical grid, you will need to learn a bit about transformers.
This narrated video course will give you all the information you need to know about electrical transformers and can also be used later as a refresher course. It’s an ideal course for anyone working or training in an electrical engineering or power engineering industry.
2D images, 2D animations, and 3D animations are used extensively to show you exactly how each of the transformer parts works.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- How silica gel breathers work
