Load Bank School & Certification
We are excited to announce our first
in-person school since February 2020!
EGSA’s Load Bank School & Certification is coming October 6-8, 2020 in Atlanta, GA. Prime Power Services will be hosting the 3-day course which will include classroom and hands-on training sessions. The course concludes with students taking the EGSA Load Bank Certification test. This is the first time we are opening up attendance to all our members and we only have 10 spots available. Click the link below to register.
Overview: This 3-Day course will cover correct safety protocols, deciphering nameplate ratings of generators, different types of load tests, connections, testing requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), applying the appropriate loads for the test required, gathering/calculating/documenting load test parameters and results, site and environmental conditions, and potential problems/corrective actions.
Dates: Oct 6-8, 2020
Cost: $1445 per attendee (Space is Limited to 10 Attendees)
(includes the certification exam and a 5th Edition On-Site Power Generation Reference Book)
Requirements: Attendees must be Apprentice or Journeyman Certified
Note: Attendee's health and well being is a top priority to EGSA. Attendees will be provided face masks and hand sanitizer each day when they arrive for training.

Introduction to Governors/
Speed Load Controls
Instructor: Jim Bartley - Governor Control Systems, Inc.
Dates: August 25, 27 & September 1
Course Description:
Today’s generator sets demand the best in frequency control. Although not obsolete, mechanical governors have given way to either the electrohydraulic or the all-electric governor, depending on the size of the set. In addition to covering basic engine governing, this session also covers electronic isochronous load sharing and automatic synchronizing. Utility paralleling, with its special considerations, is also covered.
This Module is taken directly from the George Rowley Basic School of On-Site Power.
Part 1: Tuesday, August 25, 2:00 - 3:00 pm EST
Part 2: Thursday, August 27, 2:00 - 3:00 pm EST
Part 3: Tuesday, September 1, 2:00 - 3:00 pm EST

Advanced Generators/Alternators
Instructor: Steve Evans - ComAp
Dates: September 24, 29 & October 1
Course Description:
Understanding generator systems begins with understanding the alternator, commonly called the generator. This module presents the construction of the generator and its subsystems, operational theory and limitations and precautions required to keep it operating safely. The electro-mechanical components of the excitation system will be covered along with advantages and disadvantages of various excitation methods. Winding pitch will be discussed along with its importance to the system. The student will learn how to easily calculate the maximum short circuit available from a generator and its importance. We will cover possible consequences of power system faults and how to develop a maintenance and prevention plan.
This Module is taken directly from the George Rowley ADVANCED School of On-Site Power.
Part 1: Thursday, September 24, 2:00 - 3:00 pm EST
Part 2: Tuesday, September 29, 2:00 - 3:00 pm EST
Part 3: Thursday, October 1, 2:00 - 3:00 pm EST
