Pilot of EGSA Load Bank Course & Certification Completed
|
|
In the last week of January, the Pilot for the Load Bank Course & Certification was successfully completed. The three day course took place at Prime Power Services’ Training Facility in Austell, GA. Instructors Tom Wein (Prime Power Services), Richard Knittel (Prime Power Services), and Bob Piske (Arizona Generator Technology) guided six students through classroom and hands-on instruction.
The course included the new practical examination that required the completion of a resistive Load Bank test per NFPA 110, a block load test, a resistive/reactive Load Bank test, and the written certification assessment. It concluded with a round table discussion with the students to discuss improvements that could be made in the future.
EGSA would like to thank
ASCO Power Technologies
and
Sunbelt Rentals
for donating equipment for this pilot program. Their contribution helped the students practice on various equipment of different sizes and capabilities. Please reach out to EGSA Education Director
Nathan Harris
for more information on upcoming courses that will have open enrollment for all of our members.
