Training LM6000
All LM6000 engines (including SAC and DLE)
This comprehensive 5-day training takes a deep dive into construction details, operational insights, and maintenance essentials of GE LM gas turbines and their auxiliaries. Expect in-depth sessions covering the inner workings of these turbines and their these turbines’ inner workings and critical components. After the course, you will have online access to all the learning materials.
This course is also available as an in-house company training. We can align the course to your setup and employee skill levels.
Course objectives
This course is designed for customer personnel responsible for the daily on-site operations and maintenance of GE LM6000 aero-derivative gas turbine models. The training aims to equip participants with the knowledge needed to ensure reliable, consistent performance of the engine and its associated systems.
Introduction
Gain an introduction to the gas turbine control and protection systems.
Principles
Understand the principles, construction, operation, and maintenance aspects of the LM6000 (PA – PF) (SAC & DLE) gas turbines.
Who should attend?
Participants should have a basic understanding of the operation and maintenance of rotating equipment. Gas turbine experience is not required.Â
