Generator Excitation Systems :Design, Commissioning, Operation, Maintenance, Performance Analysis, Testing, Tuning, Repair and Troubleshooting Course
Course Overview:
This course is dedicated to enhancing hands-on expertise in maintaining and troubleshooting electrical excitation systems.
Participants will learn effective routine maintenance practices, on-line checks, and accurate fault diagnosis techniques by understanding equipment operation and circuit impact on system functionality.
This course also discusses the calibration of these systems after repairs and thoroughly covers the components and specifications of excitation systems and their specific protection features.
This course provides the electrical engineers, supervisors and technicians with the knowledge necessary in the understanding of the factors that increase reliability of the system, maintain optimal voltage and VAR, control and rectify faults using different advanced fault finding and diagnosing techniques.
Course Objectives:
Using effective routine maintenance practices
- Knowing what checks may be performed on-line and how to perform these checks without causing an equipment shutdown.
- Increasing the likelihood of accurate problem diagnosis by thoroughly understanding how the equipment operates.
- Increasing the likelihood of accurate problem diagnosis by understanding any given circuit's impact upon operations; ie., quickly linking the symptom(s) to the faulty circuit.
- Verifying suspected faulty circuit by analyzing voltage levels and/or signal traces.
- Understanding the necessary calibrations, after the faulty part has been replaced, including how the calibrations are performed.
