HI,
I am an upcoming engineer and i would like to know why our MS5001 GE gas turbine is disengaging and engaging during a ratchet operation. we shut down the unit, and after it has coasted down to 0%, the 88HR came up and the 20cs was energized to engage the jaw clutch and ratcheting began but the clutch did not fully engage. after few seconds, the clutch started disengaging and would engage almost immediately then the jaw turns in the reverse direction before traveling back to engage the other half of the clutch and then turns a little before the end of the forward stroke.
what could be the problem?
thanks
