Generator Repair & Emergency Power Maintenance

Introduction

This workshop will focus on generators and emergency power so that students will be prepared if there is an emergency situation.  This electrical training course provides practical, real world
knowledge to keep your facility running smoothly in all situations because regardless of the cause, lack of electricity at your facility can have disastrous consequences.  During this practical workshop, you will learn what you can do, and should do, to make sure your facility will keep running even if the electricity to your facility doesn’t.

Course Objectives

To provide a highly interactive practical learning of the operations and maintenance of a diesel generator.
 

Course Description

This course is intended to provide in-depth skills operations and maintenance of a diesel generator. It covers:

• Introduction to the operations and maintenance of a diesel engine,
• all aspects of a modern diesel engine and associated systems.
• Electrical systems associated with a diesel engine
• generator operations, generator components, excitation systems and voltage regulation.

Who Should Attend

This is an excellent course for:

• all employees and electrical freelancers  involved in the operations and maintenance of diesel generators.
• those involved in the use of diesels as emergency generators which would

include most power stations, oil platforms and petrochemical plants.

Prerequisites

All Attendees should have a sound power generation background.

Course Outcome

The goal of this course is to equip the learner with theoretical and practical skills that will be required when working with diesel generators. It is hoped that most institutions that use emergency generators will benefit more.
