Steam Plants (Boilers & Turbines) USCG Question #806 (Set 27)

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 B — Check the bearing for proper lubrication.

Bearing temperature increases immediately demand verification of proper lubrication flow, pressure, and oil quality. Ensuring adequate delivery prevents friction-induced failure; checking lubrication is the standard primary response before taking more drastic measures like stopping the machinery.
