Transformer Engineering Training Program - MacKinnon Magnetics Inc.

MacKinnon Magnetics is an Ontario-based manufacturer of low-voltage dry-type transformers ranging from 15 to 800 kVA. We complete the full process in-house at our Concord facility, including engineering, production, assembly and testing.

As demand for power and electrical infrastructure continues to grow, the transformer manufacturing industry is expected to create increasing opportunities for individuals with engineering and technical skills. In connection with a Government of Ontario-supported training initiative, MacKinnon Magnetics is offering a paid, hands-on engineering training program designed to help participants understand the transformer industry and gain experience in an active manufacturing environment.

About the Training

This intensive four-week program is designed for individuals with education in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or a closely related technical field. Participants will learn from MacKinnon Magnetics' mechanical engineer, electrical engineer and testing technician.

Because our transformers are engineered, manufactured and tested in-house, participants will be able to see how engineering decisions move from calculations and drawings into physical production and final testing.

What Participants Will Learn

· The fundamentals of low-voltage dry-type transformer design and manufacturing.

· How electrical and mechanical engineering contribute to transformer design, production and performance.

· How engineering drawings, calculations, materials and specifications connect to factory operations.

· How transformers move through production, assembly and testing.

· How to work safely and effectively in a hands-on manufacturing environment.

· Practical exposure to engineering, manufacturing and testing professionals.
