What information do the FADC/LOCOP screen indicators provide about the Gas Turbine Generator Set (GTGS)?

What information do the FADC/LOCOP screen indicators provide about the Gas Turbine Generator Set (GTGS)?

• A. Vibration and noise levels
• B. Oil pressure and temperature
• C. Fuel flow and turbine speed
• D. General status, prestart status, start sequence, run status, shutdown status

Answer: (D)

These indicators give the operator a clear view of where the GTGS is in its operation cycle. The FADC/LOCOP screen shows the general status as well as the specific phases: prestart checks, the start sequence, running, and shutdown. This lets you verify that each step is completed in order and know when the system is ready to move to the next phase or when it’s safely shutting down. It isn’t meant to display raw sensor values like oil pressure, fuel flow, or vibration; those measurements come from separate gauges and alarms. Instead, the screen provides quick, at-a-glance awareness of the unit’s overall state and sequence progression, which is crucial for safe and orderly operation.
