Abstract
The present invention relates to a system (100, 300, 400) for detecting abnormal movement of a gas turbine shaft. The system comprises: a magnetic circuit (104, 302, 402) comprising a first magnetic portion (110, 304) and a second portion (112, 404), and including at least one air gap between the first portion and the second portion; and a detection coil (106) wound around the first magnetic portion. The second portion is coupled to or moveable with the shaft to reduce the air gap, on axial movement of the shaft to change the reluctance of the magnetic circuit and thereby induce a voltage in the coil. The system may comprise a controller (108) for shutting off power to the gas turbine when the induced voltage exceeds a threshold voltage.
