COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will provide the knowledge required to properly maintain your Mark* VIe Control keeping your units available and reliable. It is 100% hands-on, realistic and practical. This course answers the following questions and many more. What if your unit is in a critical condition? It’s shutting down, running back, or worse it has tripped or you cannot obtain a ready to start. Using your existing troubleshooting skills, or those gained from the Advanced Mark VIe Troubleshooting course, you have isolated the cause to a singular devise. How is it to be properly calibrated or replaced? Should you, or how do you, force its variable into a safe state so it can be replaced and what are the consequences? You have received an alarm indicating a valve failure. How can it be stroked, tested, calibrated? What are the differences between pneumatic and hydraulic? You have determined the probable cause of a diagnostic alarm; open or shorted circuit, blown fuse, voter mismatch. How is it to be repaired?

GE Documentation will be taught and used throughout the course, the same way your unit is designed to be operated and maintained.

The course is intended for industrial gas and steam turbine users and not for customers with aeroderivative applications.
