balanced, and the axial thrust generated on the rotor is almost zero. The steam extraction openings will be
installed completely symmetrically after #1 LP cylinder stage 2, 5, 6 and #2 cylinder stage 4, 5, 6,
respectively, used as the steam extraction openings for the 5th section, 6th section, 7th section and 8th section
respectively, and the steams are extracted to the corresponding LP heaters.
This steam turbine is a kind of reaction steam turbine, so the axial thrust of turbine stages is
comparatively large. To reduce axial thrust, in addition to HP-IP flow path designed into reverse arrangement
and LP flow path design into reverse double-flow arrangement, adopt the equalizing piston in terms of rotor
structure to greatly reduce the axial thrust, and the residual axial thrust is to be borne by the thrust bearing,
installed in bearing seat between #1 LP cylinder and HP-IP cylinder, forming the relative anchor point of the
rotor at the thrusting bearing. The front-end bearing pedestal and #2 LP cylinder motor-end bearing pedestal
are equipped with differential expansion detector to monitor the unit differential expansion state.
The steam turbine stator anchor point is located at center of #1 LP cylinder, namely, the intersection
point of # 1 LP cylinder axial and transverse positioning fixed plate central lines. LP cylinder legs are placed
freely on LP cylinder foundation deck to guarantee free expansion and contraction in different directions. The
front-end bearing pedestal is placed on front-end bearing pedestal deck freely. With feather keys between the
front-end bearing pedestal and the deck, the front-end bearing pedestal only slides along turbine axial
direction on the deck. 2 pressing plates on both side of front-end bearing pedestal will press the front-end
bearing pedestal to prevent from jumping.
HP-IP outer cylinder connects with front-end bearing pedestal and #1 LP cylinder valve control end
bearing pedestal through “H” centering beam on both sides. “H” centering beam plays push-pull role in
cylinder expansion and guarantees the center of the cylinder and shaft system to remain unchanged. HP-IP
outer cylinder supports on keys of front-end bearing pedestal and #1 LP cylinder valve control end bearing
pedestal through 4 turbine bracket support keys. The paw bracket is of suspended structure, and the
supporting surface and the casing split are one plane so as to avoid cylinder deviation from central position
caused by the paw bracket.
The radial bearings of HP-IP rotor and LP rotor are tilting-pad bearings, with good stability to prevent
from oil whip.
The thrust bearings can automatically regulate thrust loads of each pad to realize the same thrust for
each pad. In addition, through the positioning mechanism of thrust bearing shell, the clearance of thrust
bearings can be measured and adjusted. The rigid couplings are used to connect HP-IP rotor and LP rotor as
well as two LP rotors. The gasket is installed between two couplings, and when installed, the axial position
can be adjusted. The rigid couplings are also used to connect LP rotor and generator rotor.
The LP rotor motor end is equipped with large barring gear. The gear is also taken as the coupling gasket
to adjust the axial position of steam turbine rotor and generator rotor.
Barring device at startup can automatically release, and it can manually or automatically operate for
continuous barring.

bounces upwards rapidly under action of bottom spring to open LP security oil leakage hole so as to
discharge LP security oil line oil pressure quickly. The rapid reduction of security oil line oil pressure causes
diaphragm valve to take action to discharge HP security oil and rapidly close main steam valve and regulating
steam valve.
1.4.2.3 Manual shutdown
The system is equipped with manual intercepting valve in turbine head for emergency shutdown. Beat
front-box manual tripping button with hand, discharge the lubricating oil on upper of diaphragm valve, and
open diaphragm valve, discharge HP security oil, rapidly close main steam valves and regulating valves, and
stop steams entering into the unit. (Reset before latch after stopping front-box tripping button manually)
1.4.2.4 The system is equipped with emergency governor test solenoid valve unit for oil spray test of
emergency governor.
1.4.3 HP fire resistant oil system
HP fire resistant oil system is composed of hydraulic servo system, HP fire resistant oil tripping system
and oil supply system.
1.4.3.1 Hydraulic servo system is composed of valve control seat and servomotor.
1.4.3.2 HP fire resistant oil tripping system is composed of diaphragm valve which can transform from
lubricating oil to HP security oil and HP barring module which can realize online test.
After the unit latches, the lubricating oil acts on diaphragm valve for action to intercept HP security oil
return oil passage. If then solenoid valve on HP barring module is charged, HP security oil will be provided.
1.4.3.3 HP accumulator
HP accumulator is the hydro-pneumatic blade-type accumulator for 2 units, and nitrogen precharge
pressure is 10MPa. HP accumulator is connected with the system through manifold block, including isolating
valve, discharge valve, etc. It is used to supplement instantly increased oil consumption and reduce system oil
pressure impulse.
1.4.3.4 HP barring module (AST)
HP barring module is mainly composed of four AST solenoid valves, two pressure switches, two
throttling elements and one manifold block. On normal condition, all four solenoid valves are charged so as
to provide HP security oil pressure provided that the diaphragm valve is closed (namely, the unit latches) to
keep valve servomotor unloading valve to a closed state. When it is required to stop the unit, all four solenoid
valves lose power, HP security oil is discharged, and main steam valves and regulating valves are closed
rapidly.
1.4.3.5 Overspeed limiting module (OPC)
Overspeed limiting module is composed of two pilot solenoid valves, two unloading valves and one-way
valves. In normal operation, the solenoid valve loses power. When oil switch appears tripping operation
under over 30% of rated load or the unit rotating speed exceeds 103% of rated speed, the charged solenoid
valve acts to discharge oil pressure on unloading valve, open the unloading valve, discharge regulating valve
servomotor security oil pressure and rapidly close regulating valve servomotor. The one-way valve is to
discharge regulating valve servomotor security oil pressure when HP barring module acts and when
overspeed limiting module acts, it cannot discharge main steam valve servomotor security oil, and will not
close main steam valve.
1.4.3.6 Regulating valve servomotor
HP regulating valve servomotor belongs to servo actuator under continuous control, it can control HP
regulating valve at any position and regulate steam admission according to control requirements so as to
adapt to the operation need of steam turbine.
The control principles of electro-hydraulic converter are same as those of HP main steam valve
servomotor.
This servomotor is equipped with a cartridge unloading valve. When the turbine speed exceed 103% of
rated speed or it fails for emergency shutdown, the emergency tripping system acts to discharge overspeed
protection (OPC) header, rapidly open the cartridge unloading valve, rapidly discharge pressure oil in
actuator servomotor cylinder working chamber and rapidly close HP regulating valves under action of spring
force.
The principles of IP regulating valve servomotor is similar with those of HP regulating servomotor.
1.4.3.7 HP, IP main steam valve servomotor
HP main stop value (MSV) servomotor is a kind of servo actuator with continuous control. It can control
the HP main steam valve at any position and adjust throttle flow to accommodate the operation of turbine
according to the control requirements.
Digital Electro-Hydraulic Control System (DEH) control signal drives electro-hydraulic servo valve to
move main valve plug and controls the servo valve channel to make HP fire-resistant oil enter into the
working chamber of the hydraulic servo-motor oil cylinder to move the hydraulic servomotor piston, driving
and unlocking the main steam valve, or to leak pressure oil out from the working chamber of oil cylinder to
make the piston move backwards by relying on spring force and close the HP main steam valve. The
movement of hydraulic servomotor piston drives the linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) to
change the displacement of the piston into electric signals. These signals, as inverse feedback ones, adds to
the former signals from computer processing; and with opposite polarity, they are actually subtracted from
one another. After the addition of original input signals and feedback signals cause the input servo amplifier
signal equal to zero, the main servo valve returns to the neutral position with no more HP oil entering into
servomotor cylinder working chamber. Thus, the HP main steam valve stops and stays at a new working
position.
An inserted unloading valve is installed to this hydraulic servo-motor. When troubles take place and
require an urgent halt, emergency stopping system (AST) starts to work and removes mother tube oil.
Meanwhile, the inverted unloading valve quickly opens to quickly remove the pressure oil in the working
chamber of the hydraulic servomotor cylinder and rapidly shut HP main steam valves under spring force.
Two IP reheat MSV servomotors are installed on the unit side of IP main steam valve. The IP reheat
MSV servomotor is a two-position switch-type actuator with solenoid valve for valve activity tests and oil
cylinder possessing adjustable buffering function.
The IP reheat MSV servomotor receives control signals from DEH control system. When an emergency
takes places and removes the AST oil, the inserted unloading valve on the servomotor unlocks immediately
and removes the pressure oil in servomotor cylinder working chamber; meanwhile, the main steam valve
rapidly closes under spring force.
On the hydraulic servomotor, there is an activity testing solenoid valve (two-position two-way),
connecting the working chamber of the oil cylinder and pressure return oil. When the activity test of main
steam valve is carried out, DEH control system sends the signal to open this solenoid valve, removes a part of
pressure oil in the working chamber of the oil cylinder and closes the main steam valve under spring force to
realize main steam valve test.
1.4.4 Steam turbine monitoring & protection instrument system
True Air speed Indicator (TSI) is a reliable multi-channel monitoring system, which can continuously
monitor mechanical operating parameters of turbo generator unit rotor and cylinder.
1.4.4.1 Rotating speed monitoring
(1) Rotating speed and zero speed
(2) The tachometer can continuously monitor the rotating speed of shaft. The rotating speed sensor is
installed in the front bearing box. The tachometer receives the signal from the eddy current probe and
calculates the revolutions per minute (RPM). When the rotating speeds drop to zero, an interlock signal will
be sent to the automatic barring gear to activate the barring. The three rotating speed sensors of overspeed
monitoring, installed on the speed detection gear of the front bearing box, detect the rotating speed of the unit.
When the rotating speed of the steam turbine reaches 110% of the rated speed, two-out-of-three signal will be
adopt to activate the relay and sent to the emergency trip system (ETS) to make 20-1/AST to 20-4/AST to
interdict the power-loss open of the solenoid valve, leak out high-pressure safety oil and closing down the
HP-IP automatic main steam valve and the regulating valve.
1.4.4.2 Displacement monitoring
(1) HP-IP & LP differential expansion
When HP-IP differential expansion is greater than or equal to +9.5mm or less than or equal to -4.0mm,
and LP differential expansion is greater than or equal to +22.5mm or less than or equal to -0.26, the alarm
relay takes action and outputs alarm signal, High Differential Expansion I Value. When HP-IP differential
expansion is greater than or equal to +10.2mm or less than or equal to -4.8mm, and LP differential expansion
is greater than or equal to +23.3mm or less than or equal to -1.4, the alarm relay also takes action and outputs
the alarm signal, High Differential Expansion Value II; the steam turbine trips, otherwise, manually open the
brake and switch off the turbine.
(2) Axial displacement and eccentricity
The axial displacement adopts the two-channel monitoring. When #1 or #2 axial displacement is greater
than or equal to +0.9mm or less than or equal to -0.9mm, and #1 or #2 “large axial displacement” alarm relay
acts to output the alarm signal; when #1 or #2 axial direction displacement is greater than or equal to +1.0mm
or less than or equal to -1.0mm, #1 or #2 “shutdown due to excessive large axial displacement” alarm relay
takes action and sends signal to ETS causing machine halt; When the eccentricity is greater than or equal to
original value 20µm, large eccentricity alarm relay acts and sends alarm signal.
1.4.4.3 Vibration monitoring
To monitor rotor radial vibration relative to the bearing, the unit #1-9 support bearings are equipped with
horizontal (X direction) and vertical (Y direction) bearing vibration channels for 18 in total.
When bearing vibration of #1-9 bearing bush X or Y direction is greater than or equal to 127μm, send
the alarm “large steam turbine bearing vibration”; when it is greater than or equal to 50μm, send the alarm
“large steam turbine bearing vibration”; when it is greater than or equal to 254μm, send the alarm “large
steam turbine bearing vibration”, and send signals to ETS and act on tripping and shutdown when the rotating
speed is greater than 2900rpm.
1.4.4.4 Vacuum and oil pressure
The condenser low vacuum governor is only equipped with three vacuum switches, and lubricating oil
low pressure governor is equipped with three pressure switches.
(1) Condenser vacuum governor output signals
When low condenser vacuum P is greater than or equal to 90Kpa (a) , vacuum pressure switch acts and
outputs alarm signal; when excessive low condenser vacuum P is greater than or equal to 79.7Kpa (a) , three
vacuum switches act (two-out-of-three) , outputs alarm signal to ETS, and acts on tripping and shutdown.
(2) Lubricating oil pressure governor output signals
When the lubricating oil header oil pressure P is equal to or smaller than 0.082MPa, the pressure switch
acts and outputs alarm signal; when the lubricating oil header oil pressure P is equal to or smaller than
0.049MPa, take two-out-of-three logic, output alarm signal “shutdown due to low lubricating oil pressure”,
send signal to ETS and act on tripping and shutdown. As the turbine shutdown after idling definitely enters
into barring state, if the lubricating oil pressure declines constantly, when P is equal to or smaller than
0.031MPa, the pressure switch acts, output signal on stop barring and initiate the alarm.
1.5.2.5 When the excessive low lubricating oil pressure is 0.048Mpa (two-out-of-three logic) ;
1.5.2.6 When the generator appears tripping operation;

3.3.6 Operation mode of generator seal oil system
3.3.6.1 The seal oil system has four operation modes, which can guarantee the sealing of internal hydrogen
under various working conditions.
3.3.6.2 The main oil source for operation: the normal working oil source of the air side seal oil is supplied
by AC seal oil pump with the outlet pressure of 0.8Mpa.
3.3.6.3 The first standby oil source is the high pressure oil from the main oil pump and hydrogen seal oil
standby pump of the steam turbine. The standby oil supplies the air side sealing bush by releasing the
pressure of the pressure reducing valve in the pipeline, and oil pressure in the outlet of the pressure reducing
valve is 0.7~0.8MPa, and the amount of oil is 250L/min. When the main oil source breaks down and the
differential pressure of hydrogen oil drops to 0.056MPa, the standby differential pressure valve arranged in
the pipeline shall automatically open. The standby oil source is automatically put into operation.
3.3.6.4 The second oil source is also provided by the turbine oil system. It is supplied by standby AC
electric seal oil pump of the turbine main oil tank with the oil pressure of 1.0MPa. As it is connected to the
same line with the oil source of the first standby oil pump, so this standby oil source also goes into a standby
differential pressure valve, and then into the sealing bush, input it when the differential pressure drops to
0.056MPa. When the coaxial speed of the turbine is more than 2/3 of the rated speed, the main shaft seal oil
pump of the turbine is able to provide the first standby oil source; when rotating speed is less than 2/3 or
breaks down, thus it can be only supplied by the second standby oil source.
3.3.6.5 The third standby oil source is provided by the self-contained DC electric oil pump of the seal oil
system, and it is connected to the same line with AC electric oil pump, when the hydrogen differential
pressure drops to 0.035MPa, and the DC oil pump is started, by starting which can hydrogen differential
pressure return to 0.084MPa. However, as the electric source capacity of the standby DC is limited, so the
operation time of the standby DC oil pump shall not be too long and shall be in less than two hours. Examine
and repair the AC oil pump as soon as possible.
3.3.6.6 The fourth standby oil source is also provided by the turbine oil system. The oil pressure supplied
by lubricating oil pump of the turbine bearing is as low as 0.035 ~ 0.105MPa. At this time, the hydrogen
pressure inside the machine must be timely reduced to 0.014MPa.
3.3.7 Operation mode of hydrogen system
3.3.7.1 The rated hydrogen pressure of the machine design is 400 kPa, maintain the normal operation of
400 kPa, and replenish hydrogen timely when the pressure is lower than the 380 kPa, the hydrogen pressure
shall be higher than that of the generator stator cooling water. Hydrogen purity shall be larger than 98%,
discharge the sewage timely when it is less than 95%, and add qualified hydrogen as well.
3.3.7.2 Before the unit is started, the generator shall be filled with qualified purity hydrogen inside. After
synchronization, input the hydrogen cooler cooling water timely, and keep the cold hydrogen temperature in
44 ℃. It is necessary to ensure that the generator hydrogen input temperature is lower than the stator cooling
water entrance temperature of the generator. After unit splitting, stop the operation of the hydrogen cooler
cooling water and drying device.
3.3.7.3 The system works normally, and the hydrogen drying device shall be inputted, discharge the water
promptly when there is water. The humidity and purity of the hydrogen shall be tested by the chemical
laboratory regularly. The humidity shall not be more than -25-0℃ (dew point temperature under rated
hydrogen pressure). Discharge the sewage when the humidity or purity is unqualified.
3.3.7.4 When making up hydrogen, discharge the sewage of its parent tube first for 10 minutes before the
make-up, in order to avoid the excess moisture.
3.3.7.5 When the machine hydrogen pressure decreases rapidly, find the leaking of the system timely, and
open the roof fan to prevent accumulation hydrogen.
3.3.7.6 Enough gas of CO2 shall be reserved on the spot in case of an emergency in discharging hydrogen.
When the unit is overhauled, the hydrogen in the machine must be completely discharged. Whether to
discharge hydrogen depends on the time duration and work contents during minor repairs. Pay attention to the
hydrogen discharge in the dead corner when discharging hydrogen.

6.9.5 Control the water level of dewatering
6.9.5.1 Normal water level
The normal water level is the designed best water level, and it is shown clearly on the general drawing
and water level indicator board. And the best water level in thermal state shall be determined by adjusting
during the running.
When the heater reaches to the running state and runs steadily, try best to keep the normal water level,
generally it is the drain adjusting valve that controls the water level. In order to make it convenient for the
operating personnel to observe, water level indicator is connected on the shell. Generally, the permitted water
level deviation is 38mm upper or lower than the normal water level.
6.9.5.2 Low water level
38 mm lower than the water level (0mm for vertical type), when it is lower than this water level. for the
heater which has dewatering cooling section, the inlet of dewatering cooling section will break the surface of
water, and let the steam flow into this section, this will result in breakdown by destroying the normal work of
this section
(1) Cause the gaining of drain approach;
(2) Because of leakage, the loss of steam latent heat, the property of heater deteriorates
(3) Create erosive damage to the entrance of dewatering cooling section and the entire section, which
will break the pipe, in order to make sure whether there is air leakage, compare the temperature of the
dewatering outlet and feed water inlet. According to the designed working state, when it runs normally, the
temperature of dewatering is about 5.5~11℃ higher than that of feed water inlet, if the temperature of
dewatering is 11~27.5℃ higher than that of feed water inlet, then there may be partial water inflow and air
leakage in the dewatering cooling section.
6.9.5.3 High water level
38mm (50mm for vertical type) higher than the normal water level is high water level, when it is higher
than this level, there will be heat transfer pipe inundating in water, which reduces the available limited heat
transfer section and declines the heater property (lower the feed water outlet temperature). High level is
caused by the following situations:
(1) Drain adjusting valve cannot work properly or has fault;
(2) The pressure difference of the heater valves, which water step by step, is not enough;
(3) Overload;
(4) Pipe damage.
If the pipe leaks, take measures immediately, bloc the broken pipe, which is to avoid the erosive damage
to the neighboring pipes caused by high pressure water.

when it is lower than 100℃, shall do the air discharge work of the corresponding LP shaft seal pipe in time.
6.10.5.2 The rules of the temperature and pressure when the unit needs to start the shaft seal:
6.10.5.2.1 HP shaft seal steam supplement is used for the steam turbine starting after tripping and load
shedding or used when the low load cold reheat section doesn’t supply steam. Thus, adjust the lowest
pressure of HP steam supplement valve intelligent positioner to be 0.0207MPa(a) , and adjust the pressure of
auxiliary steam supplement valve and cold reheat steam supplement valve to be 0.00345MPa(a) higher.

6.12.4.5 When the lubricating oil system and sealing oil system have been stopped for 2 hours, the smoke
exhaust fan of main oil tank can be stopped.
6.12.5 Stipulation of main engine barring
6.12.5.1 Continuous barring must be put into operation four hours before impulse starting of steam turbine;
during continuous barring, if main shaft is still for operational needs or due to barring fault, continuous
barring shall be operated for another four hours before the engine is started again.
6.12.5.2 When barring is operating, make sure that lubricating oil, jacking oil and sealing oil shall not be
broken off and oil pressure shall be sufficient. Rotor eccentricity shall not exceed 0.076mm.
6.12.5.3 After the shutdown of steam turbine, barring and lubricating oil circulation shall operate
continuously for at least 48 hours till the rotor is cooled below 150℃. Monitor the relevant parameter change
of main engine.
6.12.5.4 Continuous barring can be stopped only after the first-stage metal temperature of cylinder is lower
than 150℃; after barring is stopped, lubricating oil system shall operate continuously.
6.12.5.5 If continuous barring fails to operate due to the stuck of dynamic-static part caused by thermal
shock and thermal deformation, then operate the barring manually; if it fails, then try it again after an hour; if
it fails again, try it again after another hour. If it still does not work, it perhaps is the cause of dynamic-static
deformation. Under this situation, preserve the heat for one to two days, then operate the barring to eliminate
the dynamic-static stuck. Note: It’s absolutely prohibited to steam the turbine or move rotor by crane.
6.12.5.6 Under the condition that jacking oil pump cannot be put into operation, barring must continue for
steam turbine. “Stuck-slip” phenomenon may take place during barring, take the following measures for
handling until the jacking oil pump restores normal operation.
(1) Start DC accident oil pump to increase lubricating oil quantity and try to reduce oil temperature as
much as possible, but shall not be lower than 27℃.
(2) Wait for one min. If “Stuck-slip” phenomenon still exists, stop barring for 15 min, and then start
barring.
(3) If “Stuck-slip” phenomenon still exists, then stop barring again and rotate rotor 180°every 10 min to
straighten rotor. Repeat the above process till the “Stuck-slip” phenomenon disappears and barring device is
put into operation.
6.12.5.7 During barring period after shutdown, all systems relevant to steam turbine ontology are prohibited
for overhaul. Cool steam and water are prohibited to enter into steam turbine. Pay attention to monitor the
change trend of cylinder metal temperature: pay attention to the upper and lower cylinder temperature
difference, main and reheat steam system, upper and lower temperature difference of all steam extraction
pipes as well as the change of container water level and pressure and temperature. If the upper and lower
temperature difference enlarges acutely, find out the reason for water or cool steam inflow immediately, cut
off water, steam source and drain ponding.
6.12.5.8 During continuous barring, if continuous barring must be stopped for operational needs or due to
fault, it shall be approved by chief engineer and the following principles must be followed:
(1) For overhaul due to barring device fault or other operational needs, after the barring is broken off,
mark on corresponding positions of rotor and record the time of barring shutdown.
(2) After the shutdown of barring, move the rotor 180°before continuous barring is restored. At this
moment, pay special attention to the rotor eccentricity and make sure that barring current does not rise or
fluctuate overly.
6.12.5.9 During continuous barring period, under special situations, shaft-jacking device can be stopped,
but the barring current must be monitored. When the increment value of barring current is not 120% larger
than the normal value, shaft-jacking device can be stopped for continuous barring. Otherwise, shaft-jacking
device must be put into production for barring.
6.12.5.10 During continuous barring period, if there is obvious metal friction sound in the cylinder and the
barring current fluctuates with large margin (not the fault of barring device), stop the continuous barring
immediately and change it to manual barring for straight shaft according to the above regulation until the
barring device can be restored and used.
6.13 Putting into operation and shutdown of main engine oil cooler
6.13.1 Standby application of oil cooler
6.13.1.1 During operation, standby oil cooler shall be filled with oil and the oil cooler after overhaul must
be charged oil before it is used as standby: open the oil inlet and outlet; stop using cooling water.
6.13.1.2 Check and make sure that main engine oil level is above 0, otherwise, charge oil to main oil tank.
6.13.1.3 When one oil cooler is operating and another is filling oil after overhaul, open the oil feeding valve
of oil cooler and pay attention to watch the change of lubricating oil pressure. After the air of oil cooler is
discharged, close the oil feeding valve.
6.13.2 Putting into operation of water-side of oil cooler
6.13.2.1 Close the water-side drain valve at the bottom of oil cooler and close the outlet valve of oil cooler.

electrically operated valve and ball collector runner are closed in place) and the operating steps are as
follows:
Turn the mode select switch to “3”→timing relay starts timing→close ball screen when time is up→start
rubber ball recirculating pump→open electrically operated valve→delay for several seconds→open ball
collector runner→cleaning time relay starts timing (start cleaning) →cleaning time is up→close ball collector
runner→ball collecting timing relay starts timing (ball collecting starts) →ball collecting time is up→close
electrically operated valve→stop rubber ball recirculating pump→open ball screen→operation is
finished→timing relay restarts timing→go to next circulating cycle.
6.19.4 Precautions:
(1) Under manual mode, ball screen may collect balls in maximum, but back flushing must be opened
at regular intervals (usually about a week) to prevent ball collecting pipe from blocking by sundries.
(2) During ball collecting and cleaning process, it’s prohibited to open ball screen so as to avoid
misoperation to cause ball running.
