Has anybody heard of a gerabox failure due to overtorque limit being exceeded?


Food for thought.

Turbine temperatures are measured at their easiest and most reliable points.

Torque is also measures at it easiest and most reliable point.

The actual failure condition for torque or temperature may have nothing to do with the actual location of the measurement (could be downstream or upstream from the measurement location)
