The candidates will learn how to read Generator reactive capability, performance curves and calculate various operational parameters.

The course will also cover the main safety/protection systems associated with Generators and the principles, components of excitation and voltage regulation systems.

This course is designed to give a thorough understanding of the Design, Control and Protection systems associated with a modern Generator.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Gain thorough understanding of the design, control and protection systems associated with a modern generator
• Be able to understand the control and safety aspects of a generator

Technicians and engineers involved in the operation, troubleshooting design, control and protection systems associated with a modern generator. Operators requiring knowledge of generator systems would also find this course beneficial as would electrical engineers desiring to advance their understanding of modern excitation, regulation and protection systems.

This interactive Training will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas and will include;

• Lectures
• Workshop & Work Presentation
• Case Studies and Practical Exercise
• Videos and General Discussions
