2-Day Specialist Workshop

Save the Transformer

Distribution Asset Reliability & Health Management programme for utilities, distribution engineers, asset managers, and technical leaders.

Programme Overview

Distribution transformers are among the most critical and vulnerable assets in an electricity network. Transformer failures can cause customer outages, high replacement costs, operational disruptions, safety risks, and major capital expenditure pressure.

This specialist programme equips engineers and asset managers with practical methods for transformer condition assessment, asset health indexing, risk-based prioritisation, loading optimisation, failure analysis, and renewal decision-making.

Built on real utility experience:

This programme is based on a methodology applied across thousands of distribution transformers and hundreds of feeder zones.

Visual inspection protocols, oil sampling and analysis, dissolved gas analysis interpretation, thermal imaging, and condition monitoring practices.

Asset Health Indexing

Scoring frameworks, condition grade assignment, health index calculation, and portfolio-level asset health visualization.

Risk-Based Prioritisation

Criticality assessment, consequence of failure analysis, risk matrix development, and intervention priority ranking.

Loading Optimisation and Protection
