During shutdown of Steam Turbine,How do we cross the
critical speed?

Answer Posted / kaizad

As soon as steam stop valves are closed there is no control on coast down speed of turbine unless vacuum break valve of condenser is opened. Normally it takes approximately 55mins to coast down from 3000rpm to 20-30rpm barring gear speed. We keep watch on all turbo visors parameters in such times

DCS marshaling Cabinet Power supply can be replace during plant running time? Answer Yes it is possible. I am talking about the controller and cards power supply modules. They are always redundant and connected through diode so that if one power supply fails the other can take the charge immediately.so it is possible to replace one of them in running plant if the other one is healthy. MY question is how switching done.
