This paper reports on the first V64.3 gas turbine installed in the author's factory test facility for extensive testing. The unit reached a maximum output far in excess of the introductory ISO rating of 53 MW. Testing of the unit will provide the authors with important information for all the advanced gas turbine models, which have been designed and will be built in accordance with the laws of similarity applied to different rated speeds. In the meantime, two V64.3 gas turbines have been supplied for the power plant Vuosaari in Finland and test data of these units are also available. The V64.3 gas turbine model can be applied to either 50 or 60 Hz systems with a different gear box ratio. The V84.3 model, which is a 60 Hz unit, will be tested in early 1992 and the first V94.3 turbine will be ready for shipment in 1993.
