Description

Hello Everyone,

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the essential principles behind selecting, sizing, and installing, reliable generator systems for various industrial, commercial, and critical applications. It covers the core concepts necessary for ensuring efficient and dependable power generation, focusing on both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

Learners will explore key topics such as the reasons for having on-site generators, including meeting building code requirements and specific load demands. They will delve into generator power ratings, understanding the differences between Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Rated Power (PRP), Limited-Time Power (LTP), and Continuous Operating Power (COP), with a focus on industry standards like ISO 8528-1.

The course also addresses critical location considerations for both indoor and outdoor installations, covering factors like ventilation, fuel storage, cooling systems, noise management, and weather protection. Additionally, students will learn how to size generators based on electrical load impact, including UPS systems, motor loads, lighting, and medical equipment.

In terms of system design, the course covers power distribution, paralleling generator sets, and ensuring seamless transfer between utility and generator power. The course also provides insights into compliance with safety standards and regulations, ensuring the continued reliability and efficiency of generator systems in any application.
