Pump DE Vibration Displacement showing:
- Slow steady rise in overall vibration levels
- Rise in overall vibration due mainly to vibration at 1x RPM
Pump DE Shaft Orbit showing:
- Large 'circular' orbit
- Shaft instability
Pump DE Shaft Orbit before bearing change.

- Significant Noise and Vibration detected in control room
- Generator vibration low until excitation applied
- Unit tripped at 3MW load
