RDM Unit 4 spikes in Shaft 2 Vibration

RDM Unit 5 Vibrations spikes in Unit 5 at less control valve position

Unit 6 Shaft 1 vibrations increased and stayed for 40 minutes ( 62 to 77 to 63 )

 New 500Mw units IP F & R top / bottom temperatures difference is increasing to as high as 75 Deg after 24 Hrs on barring ( after unit trip / stopped at full load ) To keep Condenser Vacuum or Kill after Turbine Trip Practice Barring Getting Stopped in New 500 MW Units

 Can we run jacking oil system while unit in service Ist Stage pressure Criteria Sound from LPT at low frequencies Whether to run the machine in case of U seal Leakage

 Spring deck machines

Axial shift HP evacuation line Turbine actual Over speed test

Trip oil is collapsing on control fluid pump change over

 Aux trip oil pressure is less (4.8 Ksc) in comparison with Trip oil Pressure (7.2 Ksc) in all Stage 2 Units.
Blade failures at 12th , 13th & 14th Stages in HPT root cause of blade failure IP Differential expansions of new units is maintaining close to limits ( at 6mm limit is also 6 mm)
