This course covers the design techniques for the selection and sizing of standby diesel generators for low voltage distribution systems within a Building Services Environment. The training is primarily aimed at electrical engineers, electricians, technical facility engineers, who want a good grounding and understanding of Standby Diesel Generators and Implications in building services.
Many engineers do not realise that generators have three fault levels, they are three times the impedance of transformers and they produce lower fault currents, compared to Transformers, hence higher harmonic distortion.
We will look at generator decrement and capability curves and demonstrate how these are applied to equipment selection. The course takes you through all aspects of generator sizing, consideration of harmonics, step loads, fuel polishing systems, design applications, specifying, and selecting the most appropriate generator for your building.
The course will provide clear concise notes and summary tables for future reference, to use in your daily activities.
Who should attend?
- Electrical engineers of all grades
- Electricians of all grades
- Building services engineers
- Property managers of all grades
- Facility Managers of all grades
- Building surveyors of all grades
- Architects
This course is also applicable for anyone involved in the build process and the high-level procurement of electrical installation design or services would find this course useful as a means to increase their understanding and improve their awareness of the generator design and installation requirements.

Trainer
With a 35-year track record as an accomplished electrical engineer, including a decade in the Middle East overseeing multi-million pound infrastructure projects, I bring a wealth of practical experience to my work. Beyond my engineering achievements, I am passionate about education. I have had the privilege of sharing my knowledge as a lecturer and tutor at various academic levels, from HNC to undergraduate and post-graduate programs. This parallel career allows me to not only apply my technical expertise but also to nurture the next generation of engineers. It's a fulfilling aspect of my professional journey, contributing to both industry and academia.
