Overload on starter motor of GE MS 5001 (Turbine Generator).
Overload on starter motor of GE MS 5001 (Turbine Generator).
(OP)
Gents,
What are the causes of having overload on starter motor (driven a torque convertor voith turbo E 6 WAT) of GE MS 5001 turbine model when the machine is hot.
Please note that this happen only when the turbine wheel space is hot, however the overload on the starter motor doesn't occur when the machine is cool as the the machine starts normally without overload alarm.
Thank you,

The overload occurred at 6% of the required speed.
The logic not executing different sequence except when the temperatures achieve the alarm or trip conditions and this was not the case.
My suspect was on the torque convertor hydraulic circuit, but after checking no issue were found.
Your help is appreciated.
