Where: Cooper Electric - 315 Cranbury Half-Acre Road, Cranbury NJ 08512


Schedule: 


7:45am – 8:30am: Light Breakfast Sign in


Presenter Rumman Kabir/KOHLER POWER SYSTEMS.

8:30 – 9:30 Alternator Basics and Data Sheet Review - 1 PDH (60 minutes) 

Alternators are an integral part of the backup generator set. There are complex forces and variables at play that are both intriguing and useful to understand. Some of these dictates why alternators are built the way they are, others determine how to ensure safety by properly applying protective devices. Alternator data sheets are also complex and inconsistent between manufacturers. This course aims to simplify the inner workings of the alternator and point out the key alternator data sheet items to understand. 

 

9:45 – 10:45 Generator Enclosure Basics, Considerations, and Options - 1 PDH (60 minutes)

Enclosures can be a critical component of your backup power system. In this presentation, we explore the basic properties, types, and optional components of a generator enclosure. We will also look at the codes and standards that guide both the design and installation of enclosures.

 

Presenter Manny Mule/KOHLER POWER SYSTEMS:

11 – 12 Sizing 101: Basics and Sizing Tool - 1 PDH (60 minutes) 

Generators have several factors that need to be considered when appropriately sizing for a project other than the summation of kW. We will investigate how various parameters of the project (ambient conditions, load details, stepping, code requirements etc.) must all be considered when optimally sizing a generator set.  We will illustrate using Kohler Power Solutions Center how implementing certain design criteria can help reduce the kW rating specified.

 

12:00 – 1:00 Lunch

 

1:15: - 2:30  Generator Demonstration and Maintenance Overview

Cooper Technician will demonstrate operation of the Facilities Kohler 2000kw Generator Set.

Jason Frommer/Service Manager will provide a Maintenance Overview.
