Generator integirty

[bigbadvuk]

Does anybody know why im getting generator integrity alarm after 5 minutes in game right after starting to spin the turbines?

Im not even yet to the full power it is literary 5 minutes into the game, all parameters are a but sub hen nominal, and im slowly approaching nominals, and yet every time from last 3 attempts i get the alarm.

What are your other readings? It sounds like you're over revving your turbines causing damage to the generator. Can't be sure tho. Primary coolant loop is usually slightly below secondary loop pump speeds in a stable situation

But, im not - like i have said, im just warming up slowly. And im not even connected to the grid
RPM never went over 1500 ( im not 100% sure but im 90% sure it didnt).
I have turbine bypass vents open etc...

Up until this weekend thing were fine. Now i cant even start from scratch without getting red alarm about integrity.

Regular electricity generator, steam generator, or turbine integrity? It's easy to damage the turbines if you don't have the right volume of steam-to-water in your steam generator. (A little less so after the recent patches, it seems.)

And yes, over-RPM will also damage the electricity generator. It's easy to do that if you don't keep an eye on your primary coolant loop.

Integrity of the electricity generator, ill make a screen shots.
Start a new game and then make a screen shot - best way to describe it. Otherwise we will just waste words :)

I think I have figured out what it was: turbine bypass valves were too much closed - and generator went into overrev, killing its integrity.

Also note to myself - dont try to run nuclear power plant and drink red wine, it is recepie for Chernobyl 2.
