The Trent series of Rollers do not detect a TGT exceedance directly but do flag a possible exceedance using the shaft speeds. A maintenance message is also generated to warn of the overthreat and make sure the innards are checked before continuing.

If the speeds get really silly then the engine is shut down by the FADEC before too much damage happens (hopefully...)
