Course Description

This course is designed for engineering and maintenance personnel who configure, and maintain the LCI™ static starter. Laboratory assignments include hardware identification, Hyper terminal and Control System ToolboxST™ 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.

Duration

4 Days

Target Audience

• Supervisors
• Electrical Maintenance
• Instrumentation & Controls

Prerequisites

Instruction is given in English, therefore a reasonable ability to read and understand spoken English is required

          Reasonable computer skills

          Electrical experience/education

          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.

Class Size

Maximum number of students:  12
