CPGN-002: Cummins Power Generation Course 2

Students will enhance their knowledge of the AC Generator while gaining a better understanding of maintenance and troubleshooting procedures. Students will learn the difference between low, medium, and high voltages. They will be able to distinguish between self- and separately excited generators, brushed and brushless generators, bar and wire winding, and will be able to recognize the various requirements for generator applications. The Power and Industrial Electronics Learning system will teach students how to operate, adjust and troubleshoot electronic components, circuits, and systems used in power generation machine applications. Students will learn oscilloscope usage, linear power supplies, power supply filtration and regulation, solid state relays, discrete sensing devices, thermal sensing devices, amplifiers and op amps, analog sensing, solid state switching, and solid state speed and power control. Students also will learn about motor control. Electric motor control teaches electric relay control of AC electric motors found in industrial applications. Students will gain understanding of the operation, installation, design and troubleshooting of AC electric motor control circuits for many common applications. They will develop skills in interpreting schematics, system design, motor start/stop circuits, motor sequence control, reversing motor control and motor jogging. Safety is emphasized throughout, highlighting motor safety, lockout/tagout and safety interlocks.
