Course Overview
Spares strategy for transformer maintenance and testing is an availability decision disguised as a cost decision. Equipment involved in maintenance and testing rarely fails without warning; the warning is usually in data nobody reviewed. It is written for people who have to make the engineering and maintenance work capability work with the resources they already have. Progress on transformer maintenance and testing is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this area of engineering and maintenance work, not around theory headings. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in maintenance and testing rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Comparative studies of transformer maintenance and testing across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about maintenance and testing. Participants leave with a plan for this part of engineering and maintenance work sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Apply safe isolation, permit and lockout controls to work on maintenance and testing.
Recognise early indicators that transformer maintenance and testing is drifting away from its intended design.
Build the competence framework for technicians working on maintenance and testing.
Set criticality ratings that drive work order priority for transformer maintenance and testing.
Identify the failure points in maintenance and testing most likely to cause loss, and control them first.
Calculate life cycle cost for transformer maintenance and testing and support repair-versus-replace decisions.
Who Should Attend

Course Modules
Transformer maintenance and testing: history, documentation and competence
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Isolating transformer maintenance and testing safely before work begins
- Prepare the summary of transformer maintenance and testing that senior management will read.
- Update drawings and documentation after every modification to maintenance and testing.
- Establish the boundary of transformer maintenance and testing and record what sits outside it.
- Set inspection intervals for maintenance and testing from condition data where it exists.
Session 2Keeping drawings for maintenance and testing current after modification
- Assign a criticality rating to transformer maintenance and testing that drives work order priority.
- Set out how exceptions to maintenance and testing are requested and approved.
- Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for transformer maintenance and testing.
- Record who is competent to work on maintenance and testing and when requalification is due.
Maintenance and testing: life cycle cost, repair versus replace
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Controlling turnaround scope on maintenance and testing
- Close out actions on transformer maintenance and testing rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Reduce the variation in how maintenance and testing is carried out between teams.
- Benchmark the organisation's transformer maintenance and testing against comparable operations.
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to maintenance and testing will be introduced.
Session 2Comparing maintenance and testing with recognised practice
- Set escalation thresholds for transformer maintenance and testing that work out of hours.
- Investigate repeat failures on maintenance and testing to root cause, not to component.
- Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in transformer maintenance and testing.
- Compare the cost of maintenance and testing with the cost of its absence.
Maintenance and testing: spares, logistics and availability
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Inspection intervals for maintenance and testing that are not just habit
- Set maintenance indicators for transformer maintenance and testing that reward planning rather than heroics.
- Choose the maintenance strategy for maintenance and testing based on failure pattern, not tradition.
- Estimate the true cost of one hour of unplanned downtime on transformer maintenance and testing.
- Define the turnaround scope for maintenance and testing and freeze it before mobilisation.
Session 2Keeping transformer maintenance and testing alive after the initial push
- Define acceptance criteria for transformer maintenance and testing in advance.
- Confirm lubrication, alignment and balance standards applied to maintenance and testing.
- Calculate the ratio of planned to reactive work on transformer maintenance and testing.
- Build the internal briefing that explains maintenance and testing to those affected.
Maintenance and testing: failure modes, consequence and criticality
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Testing maintenance and testing before relying on it
- Define the trigger that would require transformer maintenance and testing to be redesigned.
- Review the last twelve months of maintenance history for maintenance and testing.
- Define acceptance criteria for completed work on transformer maintenance and testing.
- Identify critical spares for maintenance and testing and confirm lead times against consequence.
Session 2Choosing a maintenance strategy for maintenance and testing on evidence
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for transformer maintenance and testing.
- List the credible failure modes of maintenance and testing and the consequence of each.
- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about transformer maintenance and testing.
- Name a single owner for each element of maintenance and testing.
