The indicating system consists of the interturbine temperature (T5) sensing system that
provides the pilot with an indication of the engine operating temperature occurring in the zone
between the compressor turbine and the first-stage power turbine stator vane ring. The
system consists of a bus-bar and probe assembly, a wiring harness, externally mounted
terminal block, and a trim harness incorporating a T1 thermocouple probe and preset variable
resistor.The T1 thermocouple is connected in parallel with the T5 harness to bias the
interturbine temperature (ITT) signal so that the indicated ITT bears a fixed relationship with
the compressor inlet temperature. This signal is representative of the interturbine
temperature in the engine.
1. General
The interturbine temperature (T5) system consists of positive and negative bus-bars,
immersion thermocouple probes, wiring harness, T1 trim thermocouple, and related parts.
The T5 bus-bar and immersion thermocouple probe assembly is located on the outer section
of the power turbine stator housing with the probes passing through ports in the housing.
The probes are individually fastened to their respective bosses by coupling nuts, while the
bus-bars are fastened to the individual probes.
The wiring harness provides the electrical connection between the bus-bar and the T5
terminal block mounted on the engine. The chromel and alumel terminals at each the end of
the harness are fastened to the respective terminals on the bus-bars and terminal block.
A flange on the harness is fastened with a gasket which provides a seal, to a boss on the
exhaust duct.
The T1 trim thermocouple is located at the 2 o’clock position immediately above the air inlet
screen on the gas generator case. It is attached by an integral flange to the front fireseal
mounting bracket and by loop clamps at the rear. The leads at the front of the thermocouple
are connected to the T5 terminal block on the gas generator case, or flange C depending
on SB configuration.
The bus-bar and probe assembly consists of eight alumel/chromel thermocouple probes
connected in parallel in a junction box. The probes protrude through individual
threaded bosses in the power turbine stator housing into the compressor turbine
discharge airstream immediately in front of the power turbine stator. The probe locations
are at the 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, and 11 o’clock around the housing attached to their
respective bosses by a floating threaded fitting which forms an integral part of the
assembly.
The stainless steel junction box is fastened to the rear flange of the power turbine stator
housing at the 12 o’clock position. The box incorporates an alumel and chromel
terminal post to which the thermocouple probe conductors are connected inside the box.
The alumel and chromel terminal posts on the junction box provide the connection
point for the wiring harness assembly which connects the probe and bus bar assembly
to a terminal block located externally on the gas generator case at the 12 o’clock
position. The harness assembly consists of a single
The harness assembly consists of single alumel and chromel leads encased in a flexible
shield. The ends of the leads are welded to their respective alumel or chromel
terminal lugs. The terminal lugs are in turn secured to the appropriate connection points
on the bus-bars by stainless steel nuts and bolts. To prevent inadvertent
cross-connection, the terminal lugs and bus-bar connection points are of different
diameters, alumel terminals being larger in diameter and slightly magnetic.

The individual leads are fastened with wire to clips installed on the stator housing. The
leads are then led forward towards the stator housing and exhaust duct flange, clipped
once, then fed through a tubular passage welded to the exhaust duct, to exit
immediately forward of flange C at the 1 o’clock position. The section of harness located
within the tubular passage is protected by a stainless steel tube, the outer end of
which incorporates a mounting flange. The flange secures the assembly to the boss of
the exhaust duct. The outer ends of the assembly leads are connected to respective
terminals on the terminal block mounted on flange C.
The bus-bar and probe assembly consists of ten alumel/chromel thermocouple probes
connected in parallel by one positive (chromel), and one negative (alumel) bus-bar. The
probes protrude through individual threaded bosses in the power turbine stator
housing into the compressor turbine discharge airstream immediately in front of the
power turbine stator. The probe locations are equispaced around the housing and attached
to their respective bosses by a floating threaded fitting which forms an integral part of
the assembly.
The harness assembly consists of single alumel and chromel leads encased in a flexible
shield. The ends of the leads are welded to their respective alumel or chromel
terminal lugs. The terminal lugs are in turn fastened to the appropriate connection points
on the bus-bars by stainless steel nuts and bolts. To prevent inadvertent
cross-connection, the terminal lugs and bus-bar connection points are of different
diameters, alumel terminals being larger in diameter and slightly magnetic.
The individual leads are fastened with wire to nine clips installed on the stator housing.
The leads are then led forward towards the stator housing and exhaust duct flange,
clipped once, then fed through a tubular passage welded to the exhaust duct, to exit
immediately forward of flange C at the 1 o’clock position. The section of harness located
within the tubular passage is protected by a stainless steel tube, the outer end of
which incorporates a mounting flange. The flange secures the assembly to the boss of
the exhaust duct. The outer ends of the assembly leads are connected to respective
terminals on the terminal block. Depending on SB configuration, the terminal block is
mounted either on a gas generator case boss adjacent to flange C, Pre-SB13249, or
mounted directly on flange C Post-SB13249

(6) Work braiding back over conductor, exposing approximately one inch of conductor.
(7) Use a sharp knife to remove insulation from wire, leaving approximately 0.15
inch of wire exposed.
(8) Wrap two layers of insulating tape, approximately 0.20 inch wide, around end of
exposed insulation over wire.
(9) Work braiding towards end of wire as far as possible and trim end of braiding
square, flush against inside edge of insulating tape.
(10) Install chafing sleeve approximately 1.5 inch long over braiding, leaving
approximately 0.75 inch of sleeve extended beyond end of braiding.
(11) Install new stainless steel sleeve over chafing sleeve with end of sleeve even with
end of braiding. Gently crimp sleeve, enough to prevent sleeve from slipping back
and forth, taking care to prevent over-crimping and puncture of insulation.
(12) Fold chafing sleeve back over stainless steel sleeve. Trim off loose ends.
(b) Install lug over chafing sleeve and crimp small ear over bared wire, leaving
approximately 0.15 inch of wire exposed.
(c) Make sure large ears of lug are positioned directly over stainless steel sleeve.
Crimp large ears over chafing sleeve around stainless steel sleeve (Ref. Fig.
207).
(14) Clean contact surfaces of terminal lug with abrasive cloth (PWC05-101), or a
stainless steel wire brush.
(1) Remove all loose strands of braiding around damaged area (Ref. Fig. 208).
(2) Wrap tape (PWC05-066) around harness, covering all damaged area as shown.
(3) Wrap repaired area with lockwire (PWC05-110) as shown. Hold wrapping wire
snugly along length of harness braid beginning from the left. Starting at opposite
end, wrap wire tightly and uniformly over harness braid and repaired area.
NOTE: Make sure wire overlaps tape and contacts harness braid at each end of
repair.
(4) When approximately two-thirds of wrapping length is completed, allow short end of
loop to remain exposed. Continue wrapping wire to complete remaining distance,
shown as 1/3X.
(5) After final turn of wrapping, insert wire A through loop as shown. Remove surplus
end of wire B so that length is approximately one-third of repair length. Pull loop
end C until wire at A is snug and end of wire B has just disappeared underneath final
turn of wrappings. Cut wire end C flush.
9. Adjustment/Test
NOTE: When installed on the engine, the bus-bar, probe assembly and wiring harness form
a single unit, and probes cannot be checked individually. For individual component
checks, refer to Subparas A., B., C..
NOTE: This test is done with the thermocouple at room temperature. The probe being
tested must be removed from the bus bar.
(1) Measure and record continuity resistance of probe loop by connecting leads of test
set to thermocouple terminals.
(2) Switch test set leads to opposite terminals on the probe and measure and record
continuity and loop resistance.
(3) Add both recorded values and divide by two to determine the average. Acceptable
resistance is 0.27 to 0.34 ohms.
(4) Using test set, measure insulation resistance between either AL or CR terminal and
thermocouple housing. Do not connect test leads to probe sheath as oxidized layer
will give false reading. Minimum acceptable resistance at each terminal is
50,000 ohms.
NOTE: If insulation resistance test is unsatisfactory, but does not indicate a direct
short to ground, bake probe at 93°C (200°F) for one hour to dry out all
traces of moisture. Repeat test. If still unsatisfactory, reject probe on the
basis that a residual contaminant, other than moisture, is present.

(5) When performing the heat response check of the probe, confirm that the output
signal is of the same polarity as that of other the probes. Connect the test set to
the AL and CR terminals, apply heat to each probe in turn and check for a positive
indication of temperature change. A heat source, such as a 100 watt soldering
iron, capable of heating the individual probes to 94°C (200°F) can be used.
NOTE: A heat response check of probes installed and connected to the bus-bar
assembly, may be performed provided the previously heated probe is
allowed to cool before applying heat to the next probe.
(6) Failure of any of the above test requires changing of the probe assembly.
(1) Using test set, with bus-bar and probe assembly disconnected from wiring harness,
measure insulation resistance between alumel and chromel lug, and between
individual lugs and wiring harness shield. Resistance measured must be not less
than 25,000 ohms.
(2) Using test set, measure continuity of each wiring harness lead (alumel to alumel,
chromel to chromel). Continuity must prevail in both instances. Alumel 0.333 to
0.407 ohms. Chromel 0.909 to 1.111 ohms.
(3) If test at step (1) or (2) is not satisfactory, replace wiring harness.
(4) If air leakage is suspected through wiring harness conduit (Ref. 72-00-00, FAULT
ISOLATION):
(a) Start engine (Ref. 71-00-00, ADJUSTMENT/TEST, Engine Starting) and let
stabilize at ground-idle.
(c) Increase engine power and watch for leaks at check points. Slow appearance
of bubbles is acceptable. If steady stream is visible, determine source and
replace gasket and/or wiring harness as applicable.
(1) Using test set, with thermocouple disconnected, measure insulation resistance
between either alumel or chromel lug and thermocouple outer casing. Resistance
measured must be not less than 50,000 ohms.
(2) Connect test set to opposite lugs on trim thermocouple, and measure and record
loop resistance.
NOTE: Take the two readings quickly in succession to keep temperature variation
at minimum.
(3) Add both readings, and divide by two to find the average loop resistance.
NOTE: The following test shows circuit malfunctions such as an internal short circuit,
or an open circuit.
(1) When installed on the engine, the bus-bar, probe assembly and wiring harness form
a single unit, and probes cannot be checked individually. The following tests will
therefore only reveal circuit malfunctions such as an internal short circuit, or an open
circuit.
(2) Remove aircraft external leads and T1 trim thermocouple leads from terminal block
on gas generator case.
(3) Connect test set to alumel and chromel terminals on gas generator case terminal
block and measure loop resistance of T5 system. Measured resistance should be
1.30 to 1.55 ohms Pre or Post SB13038.
NOTE: If several probes are broken or damaged, the loop resistance would not
necessarily fall outside the allowable tolerance. However, erroneous
temperature indications could occur due to reduced sampling.
(5) Connect test set leads between either alumel or chromel terminal on terminal block
and ground (gas generator case) and measure insulation resistance. The measured
insulation resistance must be not less than 50 000 ohms.
(6) Reconnect external leads and trim thermocouple leads to appropriate AL and CR
terminal posts on terminal block. Tighten AL terminal 24 to 40 lb.in., and CR
terminal 15 to 20 lb.in.
NOTE: Always clean all contact surfaces immediately prior to assembly with
abrasive cloth (PWC05-101).
NOTE: The following test shows circuit malfunctions such as an internal short circuit,
or an open circuit.
(1) This T5 trim check is to be done on installed engines. Aircraft cockpit gages are
acceptable for measurement Ng, Np and Tq, but not for measurement of T5.
Disconnect aircraft cockpit T5 gage and connect a suitable precision tester for T5
measurement.
(2) Procedure
(c) Disconnect T1 trim leads from terminal block on gas generator case.
(f) Start engine, increase power to Ng and Np settings as in step (d) above, and
allow to stabilize. Record torque, Tam and PA. Record T5 as Y. Shutdown
engine.
