INTRODUCTION AND DATA DESIGN
Each generating set consists of and Avon-powered gas turbine driving A/C generator
and exciter through a speed reducing gearbox supplying 10.3 mw base, 16 mw peak
(depending on ambient temperature) at 13.8 KV. 60 Hz and is designed for starting
without and external A/C supply.
The complete installation is mounted on a main and auxiliary trailer designed for
transporting all the necessary equipment by road to any site where it is desired to
provide and additional or emergency mains power supply. The plant controls are
located in a control room at the front of the auxiliary trailer.
The gas generator is a liquid fueled Rolls-Royce Avon maxi type 1533-10LL.
For starting the gas generator is rotated by a 120V D/C motor enclosed within the
intake hub fairing. The starter drive incorporates a self-engaging ratchet mechanism.
The power turbine is a single stage unit driven by Avon gas generator exhaust gases.
Power turbine is a single exhaust gases pass through an exhaust duct and silencer to
and exhaust stack which discharges the gases to the atmosphere. A splitter type
silencer reduces exhaust noise to an acceptable level.
The speed-reducing gearbox is driven by the power turbine through a shaft
with flexible couplings. The gear is suitable for full continuous running and can
withstand 10% overloads for abort periods. It uses single helical, inviolate gear
supported by plain white metal bearings.
The A/C generator is a horizontal salient pole, brushless machine. Excitation
is by a revolving armature brushless generator complete with rotation rectifiers and a
plot exciter integral with the main exciter. The generator is totally enclosed and
cooled by a closed air system. The gas turbine is a fuel-controlled engine, so that the
constant conditions of load and ambient atmospheric qualities, engine speed is
directly related to the amount of fuel supplied to the gas generator. A Change load
requires a related change in fuel supplied to maintain a constant output system and
constant A/C frequency the system embodies and electronic governor unit, which
monitors critical performance qualities.

Maintenance Historical Background:
12 march 1988:
Gas generator received in for investigation into breather / sump pressure
compressor out –let casing and tower shaft housing checked. But results were
negative. Generator re-assembled and tested breather/sump pressure found to be
0.2 HG" and accepted.
30 march 1988:
Avon 4102 oil pump drive shaft fitted
8 July 1988:
Generator received in and stripped, repairs carried out to make serviceable.
Generator re-assembled and tested in accordance with R/R overhaul manuals and
test procedures.
Note: inspection and test certificated dated 7 July 1988 attached
6 November 1989:
Gas generator received in the following turbine blade failure, generator stripped ,
cleaned and inspected . Repairs and replacement items carried out and fitted
where required. R.T.C overhaul to zero hour's life. Generator reassembled,
balanced, and tested all in accordance with R/R overhaul manuals and test
procedures. Release for further service C.O # 4552
