Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to isolate, disconnect, repair, reconnect and maintain stationary gas fuelled turbine engines up to a capacity of 5 gigajoule per hour (GJ/hr) (1,300 kilowatt).It includes disconnecting, carrying out repairs and replacing fuel train components to stationary gas fuelled turbine engine. Reconnecting the gas fuelled turbine engine includes pre-start tests, start up, adjusting components and controls to safe and efficient operation, and completing all required documentation.This unit does not cover:repairs to the internal mechanical components of the enginemodifications to gas fuelled turbine engine.Note: 500 kw equates to a gas input of approximately 6 GJ/hr.The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a license or permit to practice in the workplace.Other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.
