Steam Plants (Boilers & Turbines) USCG Question #399 (Set 14)

Which immediate action should you take when the temperature of one line shaft bearing increases above its normal operating temperature?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Check the bearing for proper lubrication.

Immediate verification of proper lubrication flow and pressure is critical when a line shaft bearing overheats. Starvation or localized clogging of the oil ring or forced feed system is the most common primary cause of sudden bearing temperature spikes.
