Remote alarms
On the remote desk, there are many alarms that regroup the main alarms on the alarm
display of the turbine control panel. These alarm indicating lights are:
• GT control system failure
• Starting sequences failure
• Auxiliary system failure
• MCC trouble
• Fuel trouble
• Lube oil or turning gear trouble
• Turbine shaft trouble or trip
• Flame detecting trouble or trip
• Exhaust temperature trouble or trip
When an alarm appears on the remoter control desk, one must go in the turbine
control compartment for looking the veritable alarm message on the CRT.
