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.
