Hello,
I got confused those last few days while speaking with someone on a power plant. He asked me about the rotational direction of the turbine. (We were at standstill). I said I have to check in the spec but he replied "okay normally it should turn in that direction because it always turn the same." On the moment I agreed with him as I never really thought about this matter.
However, I checked with several sites where I used to work and find out that it could be the opposite direction.
So I try to go on the internet and people are saying it always turn in clock wise because we have to synchronize all the generators together and hence they have to turn the same way. I am agree with them but the turbine can turn the opposite way and we can make an inversion on the stator phases so then from grid side it is turning the same.
Anyway, I think some of you can help me.
Thanks
