GAS TURBINE AND METHOD FOR SHUTTING OFF A GAS TURBINE WHEN BREAKAGE OF A SHAFT IS IDENTIFIED

摘要

Disclosed is a gas turbine comprising at least one compressor, at least one turbine, and a combustion chamber to which fuel can be supplied via a fuel pump. Said gas turbine can be shut off when breakage of a shaft which couples a compressor to a turbine is identified. At least one conductor that is part of a power supply system for the fuel pump or part of a power supply system for a fuel pump regulating mechanism is disposed on the shaft. The integrity of the or each conductor is monitored in such a way that the power supply to the fuel pump or the fuel pump regulating mechanism is interrupted when the integrity of the or each conductor is modified in order to automatically shut off the gas turbine.
