POWER PLANT GENERATOR:

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

COURSE OUTLINE
Day 1

COURSEDESCRIPTION
This course is a MUST for anyone who is involved in the
selection, applications, or maintenance and operation of
electrical generator. It provides the latest in technology. The
course covers how these generators operate and provide
guidelines and rules that must be followed for a successful
operation. This Training course also covers brief overview of
otherpowerplantmachineryandequipment,includingmotors,
switchgear, protective relaying, electric power generation,
transmission,anddistribution.Itwillalsoincludediscussionon
major and minor repairs of main generators, auxiliary
components and diagnosis of problems and corrective
measures,preventivemaintenance.
