Australasian Transformer Innovation Centre: Power transformer tap changers design, maintenance and retrofit
Venue
The aim of this course is to provide practical information, which can be applied to reduce the whole of life costings of your transformer fleet.
There is a great line up of nine industry and academic speakers with a wealth of knowledge to share.
During the course, there will be forums/group discussions where one can learn what other companies are doing in managing the life cycle of tap changers. Participants are encouraged to contribute to these discussions, or raise questions about the issues they face.
