Transformers are integral to the transportation of electrical energy through power systems. They can be found at almost every generation facility and transmission substation. Because transformers play an integral role, protection is necessary. Transformer protection can address multiples fault types. Each fault type is protected against with various relaying methods.

The Transformer Protection training course explains the basic construction and protection methods used in transformer protection. This online course focuses on:

• Transformer construction and fault categories
• Thermal and pressure protection
• Overcurrent and ground fault protection
• Differential protection
• Other transformer and shunt connected devices

Transformer Protection is part of the System Protection training series.
