Power Generator and Voltage Regulators

OVERVIEW This three days technical training includes a detailed study of power generators and voltage regulators, and the interaction between the two. The training also provides a solid understanding of generator paralleling, VAR flows, and generator/regulator response to changing loads and system voltages. A good working knowledge of poly-phase AC theory is recommended as a prerequisite; however, a refresher of the important fundamentals is presented at the beginning of the training. MATERI 1.
