Question

If we do not have a starting

motor mounted on shaft, then
how will we start the Gas
Turbine?
Answer

L.C.I
Load Commutated Inverter
Word Meaning of this device, you will get
to know in mid of this presentation.

START UP
 Synchronous Motor
The Stator:
Armature winding produce rotating magnetic field.

The Rotor:
Carries field winding DC excitation.

Slip Rings:
In rotor for excitation.
 Operation of Synchronous Motor.
 Starting Means.

* A separate motor.
* Field Winding is shunted (Induction start)
* Reducing the input electrical frequency
to get the motor starting slowly.
BY?
 VFD
Variable Frequency Drive

It uses:
LCI/SFC
Load commutated Inverter.
Static Frequency Converter.
L C I consists of:
 LCI Device
 Isolation Transformer
 LCI disconnect Switch
 Slow Roll Motor (Turning Gear)
