Precautions to be observed prior to starting a turbine driven feed pump, should include __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Turbine-driven feed pump safety devices such as overspeed trips and manual trips • The purpose of drains on turbine casings and governor systems before startup • Manufacturer’s recommended pre-start checks for steam turbines

💭 Think About

• Which devices must be confirmed to WORK PROPERLY before you bring a turbine up to speed, and which devices would be unsafe to leave disabled or altered? • Think about what could happen if the turbine suddenly accelerated beyond its normal speed—what protection needs to be verified? • Which option describes a check you can perform safely while the turbine is still at rest, rather than something that would only be observed once it is already running?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices would intentionally defeat or alter safety or control systems, and rule those out. • Consider which action is part of verifying a trip or shutdown mechanism rather than changing normal operating settings. • Ask: before first starting any turbine, which protective feature should I be sure can still stop the machine quickly if needed?
