CLASS #100—2301A&D Load Sharing Speed Control
Description
This class will provide you the opportunity to learn more about the 2301A (Analog) and the 2301D (Digital) Load Sharing Speed Control. Ideal for those who need the understanding of how the 2301A and 2301D control, actuators, and their associated accessories allow their engines to operate together, either on or off the infinite bus (utility). During the course both hardware and software configuration / monitoring will be explained.
CLASS OBJECTIVES
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate a strong foundation on governor control theory pertaining to the 2301A and 2301D family of controls.
- Field calibrate the controls and adjust actuators, linkage and accessories.
- Demonstrate an understanding of power management issues such as; soft loading and unloading, base loading, peak shaving, import/export control, and power transfer.
- Describe the concepts of basic adjustments, paralleling, and droop.
- Demonstrate an understanding of theory, methods of synchronizing, and paralleling of electrical generators.
CLASS OUTLINE
A. Concepts of Basic Control Theory
