TROUBLESHOOTING BRG. VIBRATION UPON STEAM TURBINE START-UP

TROUBLESHOOTING BRG. VIBRATION UPON STEAM TURBINE START-UP

TROUBLESHOOTING BRG. VIBRATION UPON STEAM TURBINE START-UP

(OP)
Say you are trying to start up a steam turbine and you experience high bearing vibration. What would you check out first? What steps would you take to identify & solve the problem? I worked overseas as a field engineer some time ago, would like to return, & I am trying to remember various scenarios that can occur. ( I luckily never experienced this problem when I was in the field ).
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
