COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed for those who have a need to understand most aspects of power plant GENERATORS.
The course addresses Theory of Generator Operation, Design Considerations, Construction, Relationships to the System, Excitation Systems, Auxiliaries, Normal/Abnormal Operations, Protective Relaying associated with the Generator, Outage Planning, Disassembly, Inspection/Repair, and Reassembly.
There are NO SMALL PROBLEMS when it comes to the GENERATOR!! The Design, Construction, Operations, Safety, Testing, Inspection/Repair as well as disassembly/reassembly shall be fully understood. Register for this course today and get the answers to the all questions including:
•
How does a generator function?
•
Why is it designed as it is?
•
What happens if the generator is synchronized out-of-phase?
•
What happened in the control room such that one would make such a large error when synchronizing?
How can we avoid such an error?
•
Just how bad (and what is) negative phase sequence currents?
•
Corona discharge what does that mean?
•
How do you repair fused stator punchings?
•
What components should be high-potential tested?
•
How can we avoid accidental injury when testing the generator?
•
What are the probable causes of grounded fields?
•
Why have we (recently) heard of hydrogen explosions? How do we avoid?
•
And the list of answered questions goes on!!!
