10.2.7 Generator Vibration and Temperature Monitoring
X and Y proximity probes are mounted in the generator exciter and driven-end bearings. 
These probes are monitored continuously by the control system. Alarm and shutdown 
levels are set to protect the generator from excessive vibration levels 
Resistance temperature devices (RTDs) are mounted in the generator exciter and driven 
end bearings. Two RTDs are also imbedded in each of the three stator-winding phases. 
One RTD is connected to the control system and the other is provided as a spare. Alarm 
and shutdown levels are set to protect the generator from excessive temperature levels. 
10.2.8 Redundant Combined Generator Control Module (Optional)
A second CGCM can be provided to function as a hot backup to the primary CGCM. The 
system is configured for automatic transfer to the second CGCM in the event the primary 
CGCM fails. All control, protection, and monitoring features of the primary CGCM are 
duplicated in the second CGCM. Control can also be manually transferred between the 
CGCMs.

Notes
:
(a)
The change in voltage will not exceed 1.0% over a 30-minute period when the generator is 
operating at rated voltage, power factor of 0.8 to 1.0, and with a constant load between no 
load and full rated load.
