There is some problem with our Gas Turbine (Frame 9E). During the startup our gas turbine cannot start. Starting motor trips on overload and the alarm on Mark VI appears is " Starting means turbine shaft fail to break turbine away".
This problem haunts us always during the startup although sometimes the turbine starts normally. What we do is that we normally jack the turbine from coupling at the generator end(we have a special fixture for it).
I just want to calculate the initial torque actually required by the turbine. Regarding the torque convertor, I can have its maximum output torque from its performance curves. Any calculations that can give me the initial torque of the Turbine.
Looking forward to hear from you guys.
Thanks
