Course Overview

Reactive work on transformer oil testing costs several times what the same job costs when planned. Where maintenance history on the engineering and maintenance work capability is incomplete, every decision becomes a guess. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the engineering and maintenance work discipline are used deliberately. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make transformer oil testing hard in practice. Buying a tool rarely fixes this strand of engineering and maintenance work; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Where the engineering and maintenance work capability is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about transformer oil testing. The course sets out a working method for this strand of engineering and maintenance work that participants can apply the week they return. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the practice within engineering and maintenance work ready to put in front of a decision maker.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Course Modules

01

Transformer oil testing: spares, logistics and availability

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Investigating the failure on transformer oil testing that keeps returning

  • Identify critical spares for transformer oil testing and confirm lead times against consequence.
  • Anticipate the objections transformer oil testing will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Map the handovers in transformer oil testing between functions and secure them.
  • Agree what will be standardised in transformer oil testing and what will not.

Session 2Spares for transformer oil testing: lead time against consequence

  • Review the last twelve months of maintenance history for transformer oil testing.
  • Update drawings and documentation after every modification to transformer oil testing.
  • Reduce the variation in how transformer oil testing is carried out between teams.
  • Remove steps in transformer oil testing that add effort without adding assurance.
02

Transformer oil testing: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Repair or replace: making the case on transformer oil testing

  • Set inspection intervals for transformer oil testing from condition data where it exists.
  • Identify single points of dependency in transformer oil testing and reduce them.
  • Compare the cost of transformer oil testing with the cost of its absence.
  • Calculate the ratio of planned to reactive work on transformer oil testing.

Session 2The paperwork for transformer oil testing that is actually needed

  • Specify condition monitoring on transformer oil testing that gives usable warning time.
  • Estimate the resource transformer oil testing requires to run as designed.
  • Assign a criticality rating to transformer oil testing that drives work order priority.
  • Set maintenance indicators for transformer oil testing that reward planning rather than heroics.
03

Transformer oil testing: safe isolation and permit control

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Choosing a maintenance strategy for transformer oil testing on evidence

  • Collect evidence on the present handling of transformer oil testing before proposing changes.
  • Confirm lubrication, alignment and balance standards applied to transformer oil testing.
  • Rehearse the briefing on transformer oil testing that would follow an incident.
  • List the credible failure modes of transformer oil testing and the consequence of each.

Session 2Making transformer oil testing work when resources are constrained

  • Record who is competent to work on transformer oil testing and when requalification is due.
  • Assess energy loss attributable to the condition of transformer oil testing.
  • Define the turnaround scope for transformer oil testing and freeze it before mobilisation.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for transformer oil testing.
04

Transformer oil testing: turnarounds, contractors and scope control

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Controlling turnaround scope on transformer oil testing

  • Identify the data already collected that bears on transformer oil testing.
  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on transformer oil testing.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates transformer oil testing is under control.
  • Record what was learned when transformer oil testing did not go as planned.

Session 2The hard cases in transformer oil testing and how to reason about them

  • Confirm that those complying with transformer oil testing understand why it exists.
  • Build the internal briefing that explains transformer oil testing to those affected.
  • Define the trigger that would require transformer oil testing to be redesigned.
  • Investigate repeat failures on transformer oil testing to root cause, not to component.
