Abstract
A gas turbine machine includes a second turbine (), e.g. a low pressure turbine, positioned downstream from a first turbine (), e.g. a medium pressure turbine. An arrangement for detecting a shaft break of a rotor shaft includes an operator element () positioned between the rotor of the first turbine () and a stator of the second turbine () radially inwardly relative to a flow channel, and a sensor element () guided in the stator of the second turbine (), to convert a shaft break, detected by the radially inwardly positioned operator element (), into an electrical signal and to transmit this electrical signal to a switching element which is positioned radially outwardly relative to the flow channel on a housing of the gas turbine machine.
