Course Description
Attendees of the course will leave with an understanding of diesel generators and programming knowledge for optimum operation. The training explains the different energy sources, and power quality and influences on standby generator sets. The session teaches trainees on preventative maintenance and safety and an understanding of the operation of all components of a standby generator.
What Do Participants Learn?
- To provide the participant with an understanding of different energy sources
- To understand power quality and its influences on standby generator sets
- To understand the different loads and the influence these loads have on the design, startup and running of a standby generator set
- To size and select the most appropriated standby generator set of the application
- To provide the participant with electrical and electronic principles to enable effective faultfinding of the standby generators and associated systems
- To provide the participant with an understanding of the operation of all components of a standby generator set and its associated systems.
- To provide the participant with the knowledge to do a preventative and scheduled maintenance on standby generator sets and associated systems
- To provide the participant with programming knowledge to program diesel generator controllers for optimum and safe operation
