Description:
Through lectures, visual aids, and demonstration sessions, this course covers such subjects as engine and generator basics, fuel systems, heat transfer systems, generator exciters and regulators, governors, instrumentation, design criteria, various factory and field test procedures, automatic transfer switches, and typical installation problems. A portion of this course will utilize a diesel generator unit for performing typical field tests and requires hands on learning.
