Course Description
Are you responsible for diesel generators in hospitals, data centers, commercial buildings, or industrial facilities?
Do you want to confidently handle DG operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, AMF panels, and multi-generator synchronization?
This is a practical, field-oriented masterclass designed to take you from fundamentals to advanced professional competence — including skills usually taught only in expensive OEM or corporate training programs.
What you will learn
Diesel Generator Fundamentals & Systems
- All major DG components and their functions
- Engine systems: air, fuel, cooling, lubrication
- Fuel injection concepts (including PT systems)
- Preventive maintenance: A, B and C checks
- Oil analysis and condition-based maintenance
- Diagnose starting failures, overheating, alarms, trips
- Apply structured troubleshooting used on real sites
- Prevent failures that cause outages and equipment damage
- Interpret alarms and operational behavior with confidence
- AMF panel logic and configuration
- Critical settings that prevent failures
- Load transfer and load management philosophy
- Real-world behavior (not just theoretical diagrams)
- Manual and automatic synchronization
- Voltage, frequency, phase angle, phase sequence
- Active and reactive load sharing
- Droop vs Isochronous control
- Common paralleling faults and how to resolve them
- Protection philosophy for parallel DG operation
- Power factor issues and correction
- Capacitor bank interaction with DG systems
- Load bank testing principles and calculations
- DG and grid interaction fundamentals
Goals
By the end of this course, you will be able to:- Supervise DG operations confidently
- Understand OEM/vendor recommendations
- Troubleshoot logically instead of guessing
- Reduce failures and downtime
- Make better engineering decisions on site
Prerequisites
