Transformer Testing and Maintenance Seminars
Build your team’s knowledge of transformer testing, diagnostics and maintenance with training led by MVA’s industry experts. Our seminars provide a practical, high-level understanding of transformer condition assessment and help participants make more informed decisions about the maintenance of critical electrical assets.
Seminars can be presented in person at your facility or through a live video conference, making it easier to provide relevant technical training to your team wherever they are located.
Practical Training for Transformer Reliability
MVA seminars connect laboratory diagnostics with real-world field experience. Participants learn how oil testing, electrical testing, inspections and maintenance work together to identify developing issues, evaluate transformer condition and reduce the risk of unexpected failures.
Each seminar can be tailored to the experience of the audience and the needs of your organization. Training may cover introductory concepts, more advanced diagnostic topics or a combination of laboratory and field-focused subjects.
Seminar Topics
Available topics may include:
- Transformer oil sampling techniques and common sampling errors
- General transformer oil quality testing
- Dissolved gas analysis (DGA)
- Understanding and interpreting oil test results
- Furans, particle count, fault metals and additional diagnostic tests
- Load tap changers and gas ratios
- Introduction to power transformers
- Bushings and surge arresters
- Electrical diagnostic testing
- Sweep frequency response analysis (SFRA)
- On-site transformer testing
- Advanced diagnostic testing and result interpretation
- Hot oil reclamation and oil processing
- Transformer maintenance and repair case studies
Seminar content can be customized to focus on the topics most relevant to your equipment, maintenance program and team responsibilities.
Presented by Transformer Industry Experts
MVA seminars are presented by Scott Reed and Todd Felton, who bring decades of transformer industry knowledge and practical experience to every session.
Their combined expertise helps participants understand not only how testing is performed, but also what the results may reveal and how that information can guide maintenance decisions. Real-world examples and case studies connect technical concepts to the challenges utilities, industrial facilities, municipalities and electrical service organizations face every day.
In-Person or Live Virtual Training
Organizations may choose the format that works best for their teams:
- On-site seminars: MVA presenters travel to your location to provide an interactive training experience for your team.
- Live video conferences: Instructor-led virtual seminars allow participants to attend from one or multiple locations while still having opportunities to ask questions and discuss relevant topics.
The length, format and subject matter can be adjusted to meet your training goals.
