The LM6000PG operates at 3850 rpm but the big advantage is the additional power in the same size machine. This feature allows the commonality of the CF6-80C2 and the LM6000 to be maintained. Taking advantage of the CF6-80C2 low-pressure system's normal operating speed of 3600 rpm, the LM6000PC couples loads directly to the low-pressure turbine shaft.
There are two models of the LM6000: the LM6000PC is a 46.1 MW machine, and the LM6000PG has an output of 52.7 MW. The LM6000 is a simple-cycle, two-shaft, high-performance gas turbine that is derived from GE's CF6-80C2 high bypass turbofan aircraft engine.
