Objectives of the Conference ie Trafoem 2008.
The objective of Trafosem is to provide a forum to discuss present status and ongoing trends in Transformer
technology not only in India but also in foreign countries amongst various Manufacturers, Utilities, Power Industry and
share experience, knowledge at global level. Trafosem helps meet the challenges and evolve new strategies for generation of
Power and other aspects arising out of Transmission & Distribution Reforms, Electricity Polices, restructuring of SEBs
for supplying power at reasonable cost and to play role in reducing the cost of equipment production with utmost
costumer satisfaction without affecting efficiency, reliability with adeep sense of commitment in order to increase the
competitiveness both domestic and export market for enhancing the economic growth of the country.
Trafosem thoroughly reviews latest development of Power System, technological advancement influencing the efficiency and cost
effectiveness of Small Medium and Large Transformers, state -of the art materials, fittings and accessories used for
innovative design and manufacturing techniques, predictive method of testing transformers for short circuit withstand
capability, computer software development for optimized design of transformers and improved quality up- gradation
and transformer auxiliaries, oil preservation system at length in the International gatherings.
