Question 519Steam Plants - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is D) at the end of the supply line header to the bearings. The low turbine oil pressure alarm sensor is typically installed at the end of the supply line header to the bearings because this is the point where the oil pressure is the lowest in the system. By monitoring the pressure at this location, the alarm can detect any significant drop in oil pressure before it reaches the critical main bearings, allowing for timely response and prevention of potential damage. The other options are incorrect because they are not the optimal location for the low pressure alarm sensor. Placing it at the inlet (A) or outlet (B) of the main bearings may not provide an early enough warning, while the thrust bearing outlet (C) is not representative of the overall oil pressure to the main bearings.
