IEC 60076-18&19 : Transformer Loss Measurement & Uncertainty

"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."

Power transformers are among the most critical assets in electrical power systems, and accurately measuring their losses is essential for ensuring efficiency, performance, quality, and compliance with international standards. However, obtaining a measurement is only part of the process. Understanding the measurement uncertainty associated with transformer loss testing is equally important for making reliable engineering and commercial decisions.

This comprehensive course is designed to provide a practical understanding of Transformer Loss Measurement and Uncertainty Analysis based on IEC 60076-19-1 and related IEC 60076 standards. The course explains every concept in a simple, step-by-step manner, making it suitable for both beginners with an electrical engineering background and experienced professionals working in transformer testing and quality assurance.

Throughout this course, you will learn how transformer no-load losses and load losses are measured, corrected, analyzed, and reported according to international IEC requirements. You will also understand how uncertainty budgets are prepared, how uncertainty contributions are evaluated, and how final transformer test reports are generated with internationally accepted confidence levels.

The course includes practical examples based on IEC standards, allowing you to understand not only the theory but also its application in real transformer testing laboratories.
