Why You should take this training program
Gain the background needed to operate, maintain and test the various types of generator sets used in on-site power production. Common examples of facilities that heavily rely upon these systems include: data centers, hospitals, banks, airports, water treatment facilities, manufacturing and industrial plants, schools, sports stadiums, and commercial office buildings. As the need for reliable electrical power continues to increase many firms are turning to the use of on-site generators.

What You'll Learn
This 2-day course is based on the requirements of NFPA 110, Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems. The course addresses the installation, operation and maintenance requirements of standby generators, transfer switches, batteries and UPS Systems. It starts with an introduction to the various applicable standards and electrical generation principles. Generator set operation including the engine, the generator and controls are explained. Typical troubleshooting problems and maintenance is covered. The course then moves addresses the various other components comprising most standby power systems: Transfer switches, stationary batteries and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
Maintenance requirements are discussed in detail referencing such documents as NFPA 70B, Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance; the IEEE 3007 Series Power Systems Maintenance, Operations, and Safety and, the NETA Maintenance Test Specifications. The testing requirements of NFPA 110 are addressed with special emphasis on load bank testing methods and practical applications.
