TG-E - Installation, Testing and Troubleshooting of Transformers
This manual will provide you with practical knowledge (including tips, tricks and tools) covering the fundamentals of power transformers and their testing. It will greatly assist you in communicating more effectively with your electrical engineering colleagues.
This manual also covers the importance of transformer testing and their purpose, the different kinds of transformer tests and their procedures and the practical applications of principals applied in transformer operation and maintenance.

An Introduction to Installation, Testing and Troubleshooting of Transformers
1 Introduction
There are a number of standards that define the functional and testing requirements for power and distribution transformers. For example some of the main standards available for transformers are IEC-60076 Power Transformer, BS 7821-4 parts: three-phase oil-immersed distribution transformers, 50 Hz, from 50 to 2500 kVA with highest voltage for equipment not exceeding 36 kV. BS 7844-2 parts: three-phase dry-type distribution transformers 50 Hz, from 100 to 2500 kVA with highest voltage for equipment not exceeding 36 kV, IS 2026: Power Transformers.
This manual will specify the requirements and procedure of ‘Testing of Transformers’ for Power Transformer (including auto Transformer) and will not cover small and special purpose transformers. This article mainly indicates the acceptance criterion for a transformer before putting a transformer for a particular service application, mainly relating to the testing of transformers at manufacturer’s works or in an approved laboratory. This is done to ensure that they meet the specific needs of an application.

Wireless charging gaining momentum in industries
May 9, 2019
Wireless charging technology has had a serious hit or miss relationship with the mobile industry. With some standards being cleared, some technology being engineered and some being still stuck in pre-production, it’s hard to know what’s going on sometimes. However new developments might mean we are closer than we think.Qi is the charging standard that defines wireless power transfer using[…] -

Nokia wants to show the world what is possible with 5G networks and automated factories. Not only is the company now manufacturing mobile technologies with 5G embedded within their architecture, but they are also using it to automate their factories.Based in the Finnish city of Oulu, Nokia has built a factor which they consider to be the future of modern[…] -
How to rebuild a spillway
May 8, 2019
It was a story of ineptitude, willful ignorance, and oncoming catastrophe. But that didn’t stop civil engineers in the state of California from bouncing back and rectifying what had been neglected. In February 2017, Oroville Dam’s main and emergency spillways were damaged due to heavy rains which exposed the ill maintenance and general corrosion of the main and emergency spillways.The[…]
