FEI3354 Power Transformers, Advanced Course 8.0 credits

• Transformer fundamentals
• Structural design
• Impedance characteristics
• Electromagnetic fields in in transformers
• Eddy current and core losses
• Short-Circuit stresses and strength
• Monitoring and interaction.
• Transformer-System Interaction
• Transformer protection
• Surge phenomena
• Insulation design
• Cooling system

The aim of the course is to render comprehensive knowledge about the build-up, modeling, and protection system of power transformers. Another goal is to accomplish insight regarding detailed power transformer features as loss phenomena, stray fields, impedance characteristics, insulation design etc. The overall intention with the course is to make it possible for the course participants to contribute in the development of new transformers.

The participant must a registered PhD student in the program of Electrical Engineering

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• EXA1 - Examination, 8.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

• Oral presentation at a seminar at KTH or at a conference/symposium outside KTH
• Approved written report

The written report should constitute a condensed summary of essential parts of the course literature in a form that can be used for a brief introduction of students at the undergraduate level of the build-up, features, functions, net interaction, and protection of transformers.
