🔍 Key Concepts

• Gas generator (NGG) vs power turbine (PT) roles in a split‑shaft marine gas turbine • Typical automatic start sequence: spool‑up, ignition, light‑off, acceleration to idle • Relationship between ignition RPM, gas temperature rise, and reaching idle RPM

💭 Think About

• In a split‑shaft gas turbine, which rotating assembly must be turning fast enough to support combustion before fuel and ignition are introduced? • After fuel is admitted and ignition occurs, what is the first clear sign on the gauges that combustion has actually taken place? • Once stable combustion is established, which shaft will naturally accelerate to idle first during an auto‑start—gas generator or power turbine?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which component’s speed indicator on the illustration is labeled for GG (gas generator) and which is for PT (power turbine) • Confirm at what point in a normal start you would expect gas temperature (T5/TIT) to climb above about 400°F relative to ignition RPM and idle RPM • Verify whether idle RPM during start‑up is normally reached first by the gas generator or by the power turbine on a free‑turbine marine unit
