Operational Workflow
Startup Sequence
Jacking oil pump engages → forms 100µm oil film
Motor accelerates to 10% RPM → main lube system activates
Generator excitation applied at 95% sync speed
Normal Operation
Continuous oil pressure/flow monitoring
HMI displays real-time bearing health metrics
Shutdown & Coast-Down
Jacking oil maintains film during deceleration
Auxiliary tank cools bearings until 0 RPM
PLC logs coast-down time & temperature curve
