PEARL Training - Oil and Dry Type Transformers
    sponsored by Coastal Switchgear and Controls

PEARL will be hosting a two-day training class covering Oil and Dry Type Transformers. This class is designed to train PEARL technicians in the testing, inspecting and using the PEARL standards. Leaders in the transformer industry will instruct this two-day custom PEARL training course. One day of classroom training and one day hands on training. Each attendee will attend one day of classroom training covering testing techniques, transformer construction, transformer theory, and calculations. On day two, hands on training, each person will be using the industries latest test equipment and performing test on actual transformers. Power factor test, turn ratio and winding resistance will be a few test that technician will be performing. Technicians will increase their technical knowledge in the components used on transformers, testing, and transformer winding configurations, sizes, calculations, and theory to list a few things. Each attendee will receive a certificate "Oil and Dry Type Transformer Training" and transformer technical manual. This manual will be a great addition to your company library, covering testing, testing specifications, theory, transformer construction and more. All technicians, maintenance and electrical personnel looking to develop their skills in Transformers should attend. This will be one of the year's best two-day training programs you will attend.
