Izizathu zokwehliswa komthamo womphunga wejenereyitha yomphunga werhasi ikakhulu ziquka ezi ngongoma zintlanu zilandelayo:
1. Iphaneli yokulawula ukusebenza okuhlakaniphile kwejenereyitha yomphunga iphosakele
2. Ipompo yokuhambisa amanzi ayiboneleli ngamanzi, khangela i-fuse ukuba yonakele
3. Umbhobho wokushisa wonakalisiwe okanye utshiswe
4. Ukuba kukho isikali esinzulu kwisithando somlilo, ukukhutshwa ngexesha elifanelekileyo kunye nokususa isikali
5. I-fuse yokutshintsha yejenereyitha ye-steam i-short-circuited okanye iphukile
Ukuba i-generator ye-steam ayiphumelelanga, unokuqala ukukhangela incwadana yemiyalelo yezixhobo kwaye ubize inkonzo esemthethweni emva kokuthengisa ukufumana isisombululo.
