Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
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.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
The participant must a registered PhD student in the program of Electrical Engineering
Recommended prerequisites
Equipment
Literature
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- 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.
Other requirements for final grade
- 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.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
