About this course:
 

 
Diesel generator testing is the test which assures that the diesel generator set is rated as claimed and it is performing as per the design. The test should include steps to ensure all operational parameters are performing within the normal ranges as stated by the manufacturers and to ensure that the genset pulls the KW stated on the nameplate. The testing also ensures that all protection and metering functions are working and responding to the abnormal situations. This three days course will teach you how to prepare for the  testing, what are the diesel generators testing parameters, how to measure them and what are the acceptance criteria.
