🔍 Key Concepts

• Immediate protection of main turbine and bearings when lube oil pressure is lost • Consequences of metal-to-metal contact in a high‑speed turbine with low/no lubrication • Which action gives the fastest reduction in shaft speed and load to prevent damage

💭 Think About

• If lube oil pressure suddenly drops at sea speed, which action most quickly prevents damage to bearings and turbine surfaces? • Which option focuses on reducing or eliminating rotation under poor lubrication conditions, rather than trying to correct the pressure while still running at high speed? • Think about what happens inside a turbine when lubrication fails at high speed—what is your priority in the first few seconds?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choices directly change shaft speed or rotation versus those that only adjust auxiliary systems (cooling, strainers, tanks). • Consider whether it is safe to continue turning the turbine, even at reduced speed, when you suspect a serious lubrication failure. • Ask: which choice represents an emergency protective action, not a routine adjustment or diagnostic step?
