High vibration protection on HP Feed water pumps on STG11 and STG12

Dear Sir, Bearing vibration system has been installed on ST11 and STG12 HP feed pumps and cooling tower CW pumps for the monitoring of bearings, motor and pump condition. The data logging has also been started by the shift operation staff. Operator alert has been provided in case of high and very high vibrations. The motor and pump alarm / Trip values are preliminary set as follows.
