G406 - Generator Electrical Testing

3 days - 1.9 Continuing Education Units Awarded

This class was created in response to increasing requests for more detail on this subject.  For each electrical test in the Seminar topics the presentation will include:

  • Purpose of the Test, that is, what do we want to accomplish.
  • Safety Considerations
  • Test Device Used
  • Setup
  • Data Collection
  • Data Evaluation
  • Troubleshooting Considerations

OBJECTIVES
Upon successful completion of this Seminar the participant will be able to:

  1. List all those electrical tests commonly performed on large AC generator stators.
  2. List all those electrical tests commonly performed on a large AC generator field.
  3. For each electrical test listed, describe the purpose of conducting that test; i.e., what are we looking for as a result of the test?
  4. For each electrical test listed, describe safety considerations associated with that test and what should be planned to ensure safety.
  5. For each electrical test listed, describe proper setup of equipment.
  6. For each electrical test listed, describe data collection procedures that will result in meaningful data.
  7. For each electrical test listed, demonstrate the ability to interpret test data (as that data might apply to more common issues).
  8. For each electrical test listed, demonstrate the ability to troubleshoot routine problems.
