Motoring
Motoring is the condition in which the turbine is driven by the generator at rated speed with the
stop and control valves closed. In this operating mode, certain turbine components are heated up
by wind age power of the blading.
To prevent heat-up beyond permissible temperatures, motoring must not be allowed to continue
for longer than one minute. If the condenser low vacuum limit of 0.3 bars is exceeded, motoring
must not be allowed to continue for more than 4 seconds.
