Description
Electrical Transformers: Testing and Diagnostics is an intermediate video course where you will learn all about electrical transformers troubleshooting that are essential in working within this industry; from general failure investigation methods to specific transformer tests such as Dissolve Gas Analysis (DGA).
I have handcrafted this course to allow students to acquire fundamental troubleshooting skills on electrical transformers as well as how to apply it in the utility industry.
If you are currently or working towards a career where you need to manage/maintain/troubleshoot transformers, you will find this course of great help to get the foundations you need to kick start your professional career. If you work on the vendor/supplier side, this course will provide you with the tools to effectively and efficiently find out the root cause and to answer basic transformer issues for your clients.
Please note, this is not a Fundamentals Course! I would assume that you already have foundational knowledge on transformers. Please enroll in my “Electrical Transformers Fundamentals” to gain fundamental knowledge of Electrical Transformers if you doubt your own knowledge and experience.
So let's get started! Let's start your fulfilling journey and mark an important point of your phenomenal career!
Who this course is for:
- Engineers or engineering students who are going to design, maintain and/or troubleshoot transformer issues
- Professional who work in the Transformer supplier/vendor side and want to know what to look out for when their clients phone them with transformer issues

Mike has been working for many years in the power utility industry. He has experienced working in various roles within the industry and have experience in teaching engineering concepts to the public, fellow engineers and power line professionals. Now, taking all that he has learned, he will help you in discovering the amazing career opportunities within the power utility world.
After graduation, he discovers that many knowledge from the power utility world were not being taught in university courses. Like many engineer graduates who first entered the industry, he soon discovers that although the theoretical knowledge taught in school provides a fundamental knowledge base, it is not adequate to even to do the most basics of engineering job functions. In fact, he soon found out that he could not even communicate things properly with other coworkers as there are various industry-specific lingo and practice that it is very hard to learn without working within the industry for years and years.
Furthermore, knowledge in the how-to are not commonly found in the internet and a lot of times individual teams would only keep knowledge to themselves. This means that even if you are working in these companies, chances are that you may not get the overall picture as much as you hope.
Most people may feel paralyzed and don't know where to start in how to get into the industry or to gain more industrial knowledge. Even worse, most training courses provided by industry leaders are available only to certain employees of their business clients.
Power utility industry provides one of the most basic of needs in modern society and is also one of the industry that will experience rapid growth within the next twenty years. This industry needs professionals like YOU to make electricity more accessible and affordable for the present and the future. Mike believes that the knowledge and skills in this industry should be affordable and open to all.
These courses should teach real life skills that are applicable to the industry and help students in landing their dream job; they should not waste a student's valuable time. Having learned important lessons from working in both engineering and utility companies, Mike will teach you the foundations that will help launch your career in the power utility industry.
Mike promises you that there are no other courses out there as comprehensive and as well explained catering specifically to the power utility industry.
