In the power generation industry, reliability is a must. This is especially true when it comes to turbine control valves. But one of the more common difficulties in power plants is the typical limit switch arrangement on throttle, governor, intercept, and reheat stop valves. Conventional limit switches in this application are notorious for failing due to heat and physical abuse, and for falling out of tolerance and requiring readjustment.
TopWorx has solved this problem with the Defender turbine trip switch system. Made especially for turbine valves, the Defender is packed with up to 10 reliable GO Switch leverless limit switches, and is designed as a direct, drop-in replacement for existing OEM limit switches on Westinghouse or General Electric turbines.
