Under what conditions would an industrial Turbo generator need to trip. ?
ie a ships diesel generator.
Yes - I do mean shutdown.
Cheers
I'm assuming by "trip" you mean shut down/off
Plenty of reasons:
1) overheat, most common cause, could be lost water pump or water supply or cooling lines plugged
2) electrical, although diesel does not use sparkplugs there are electrical components. There are glow plugs that get the whole process started when cold, there is a starter motor that gets it all going and there is some method to keep the fuel warm enough to flow correctly
3) Starve for fuel, either fuel ran out, to low temp so its sludge
4) Loss of oil pressure that is used for lubrication
5) Ouput limits, there will be an overcurrent/overvoltage system regulating the output of he generator and if it gets really out of wack then it will kill the whole thing to prevent damage to everything
That's all I can think of right now
