CONDITION MONITORING & HEALTH

ASSESSMENT OF POWER TRANSFORMERS

12-13 September 2024

9:00 AM to 5:30 PM

ERDA, Vadodara
OVERVIEW

The reliability and safe operation of power transformers are

crucial for ensuring an uninterrupted power supply in the
transmission and distribution network. To prevent unexpected
or premature breakdowns, continuous condition monitoring of
these critical component is essential.

In order to meet this requirement, ERDA is coming up with a

comprehensive two-day workshop on “Condition Monitoring
and Health Assessment of Power Transformers.” This
workshop will cover the latest advanced techniques using
state-of-the-art instruments for both offline and online
condition assessment of power transformers.

Join us to gain invaluable knowledge on cutting-edge

monitoring methods and benefit from ERDA’s extensive
experience in the field. Secure your spot today!
