Course Objectives
Develop your knowledge of BRUSH products in the most
effective way by attending this specialist course.
By the end of the course, attendees will be able to:
–– Understand the concepts of real and reactive power
generation and their roles in supporting the grid.
–– Learn how to set-up and operate the R10 rotor earth
fault detector in the safety of our demonstration facility.
–– Perform troubleshooting on the R10 and associated
BRUSH equipment.
–– Interpret BRUSH layout and schematic drawings for
equipment installed on-site. Attendees will all receive
copies of relevant BRUSH drawings and manuals.
–– Understand the full BRUSH product range and how our
services can add value to your equipment.
Who should attend?
This course is for managers, engineers, operators,
maintenance and other personnel requiring specialist
knowledge and/or familiarization with the R10 earth
fault monitor, specifically in the areas of operation and
maintenance. It would also suit anyone interested in
generator excitation systems.
Instructors
Chris Lewis is the BRUSH Aftermarket Training Manager
(Worldwide). He has over 30 years experience in technical
support, design and on-site troubleshooting of BRUSH
Generators and Control Products. Our Controls, Design and
Commissioning Engineers will also be available to answer
any in-depth or specialist questions you may have during
the course.
Why not combine two or more courses
in one programme?
All our courses include a standard first day introduction to
Power Systems, with the second day tailored to a specific
course. However, you can always add any subsequent
course by extending your programme by one extra day for
each course module.
