    LP Cutout Mechanism

    This mechanism prevents the low-pressure (LP) turbine from overspeeding in case of a sudden loss of load or steam supply. It relies on the pressure difference between the HP and LP turbines. When the pressure difference falls below a certain limit, the LP cutout device activates, blocking the steam flow to the LP turbine and preventing damage.
