Orange monster

The alternator (or: as we say: generator) of the gasturbine at unit EC 20.
They had some trouble getting it started last weekend when there was shortage on the grid.
A test run was scheduled for this afternoon. Some things like ordering natural gas) have to be planned....
So: this morning there was shortage on the grid again and emergency power was ordered by the system operator.
So a good opportunity to do the test this morning.
Again the first attempt went wrong but after a few resets the second attempt went well and in 15 minutes we had 140 MegaWatts on the grid.
Now we have to check the cirquit breaker that is giving us trouble.

To see it all in perspective: I have put my safety helmet next to the bearing in the foreground.

Here is the orange thing in LARGE....
