LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Setup parameters for the engine/generator set on

the Generator Calibration Board

Calibrate the Bus Overload and Monitor Board

(Power Limit) and the load monitor and slip
detector board

Troubleshoot engine/generator control problems for

mud pumps, drawworks and top drives using Tech
Power Simulator

Troubleshoot problems on the bus overload and

monitor board and load monitor and slip detector
board using Tech Power Simulator

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Identify and explain the proper operation,

maintenance and troubleshooting techniques for
the Model 1400 SCR system

Classify AC systems to include AC module,

generator controls, engine controls, power limit and
sync circuit

Distinguish the DC systems to include SCR bridge,

DC module and drilling applications

Categorize auxiliary circuits and components to

include drillers console, MCC logic, dynamic brake
and ground fault

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course integrates Theory and Simulator operation
for calibration of the AC Module, Bus Overload board,
and DC Module Load Monitor Board, along with
understanding Power calculations and Oscilloscope
Operation. The student will listen to the theory then
perform the calibration or troubleshooting exercise. The
prerequisites for this course include the Tech Power
Intermediate SCR Maintenance Course and having a
basic understanding of PLCs. If a student does not
have previous experience with PLCs, he must attend
the Allen -Bradley PLC Applications for Rig System
course before enrolling in this course. Because of the
intense lab and troubleshooting exercises required for
this course, the number of students is limited to the first
six enrollments.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to provide the information
necessary to maintain and troubleshoot a typical Tech
Power SCR system. The course includes the AC side
which is the AC module, Generator controls, Engine
Controls, Power Limit, and the Sync circuit, the DC side
which includes, SCR Bridge, DC module, and Drilling
Applications, and Auxiliary Circuits which includes
Drillers Console, MCC logic, Dynamic Brake and
Ground fault detection. The system troubleshooting and
schematics will be wholly based on the Tech Power
SCR system. Generator controls and calibration, SCR
controls and calibration, consoles, and auxiliary
equipment will be covered. PLC Maintenance and
Troubleshooting is suggested as an additional course if
your system contains a PLC. (Refer to the Allen Bradley PLC Course schedule)
