Innovation Series LCI™ for Turbine Static Start Applications

This course is designed for engineering and maintenance personnel who configure, and maintain the LCI static starter. Laboratory assignments include hardware identification, pump panel troubleshooting and diagnostics, Hyper terminal communications, understanding the monitor commands, and user diagnostic tests.This course will utilize Simulators, and a full functioning LCI starter. Lectures and hands-on exercises develop a thorough understanding of the equipment.

Qualified engineers and technicians who wish to gain an understanding of the LCI synchronous generator starting system.

Electrical experience / education and familiarity with Windows. Reasonable computer skills Instruction is given in English; therefore, a reasonable ability to read and understand spoken English is required. Participants are encouraged to research their turbine-generator equipment and documentation to verify they have an Innovation Series LCI static starter, and to bring a copy of their system elementary drawing with them to class.

The appropriate dress for this course is casual. Please note that the GE Energy Learning Center is a place of business - no tank tops or shirts with inappropriate verbage or signs.

Effective March 1, 2011, the GE Energy Learning Center will become a tobacco-free campus and smoking will be prohibited in all areas of the property, including outdoor space owned by GE. This means that all employees, as well as customers, contractors and visitors will be prohibited from using tobacco products anywhere on our campuses, including in motor vehicles.
