ALTERNATOR SYNCHRONIZATION
SYNCHRONIZING AND
PARALLELING OPERATION OF ALTERNATORS
Main
generator units(steam turbine, diesel driven & shaft driven) have to be run
in parallel to share a total load that surpass the capacity of a single machine
specially when discharging cargo, loading...
MEGGER OR MEGOHMMETER
Megger is the most portable insulation tester. It is used to measure very high resistance of the order of Mega ohm.
Types of Megger
This can be separated
into mainly two categories:-
Electronic
Type (Battery Operated)
2. Manual Type (Hand...
REVERSE POWER RELAY
Alternators used for parallel running are required to have a protective device which will release the breaker and prevent motoring if reversal of powering occurs. Such type of device would prevent damage to prime...
MAIN SWITCH BOARD (MSB) SAFETIES
MSB to be installed on the raised platform.
The location where the MSB is installed should have good ventilation, illumination & affected by minimum vibration.
No water or the oil pipes should pass above the MSB.
There...
SHAFT DRIVEN GENERATOR ARRANGEMENT
The a.c. shaft generator is a synchronous machine which produces alternating current with a frequency that is dictated by variations in engine speed. At the full rated r.p.m., frequency may match with the electrical...
SF6 CIRCUIT BREAKER
A circuit breaker in which the current carrying
contacts work in the sulphur hexafluoride or SF6 gas is known as an SF6 circuit
breaker. SF6 has magnificent insulating property. SF6 has high
electro-negativity. That means it has...
ELECTRIC PROPULSION
An electric propulsion system for a ship is often simply described as a diesel electric or turbo electric system. It is characterised only by the type of prime mover, with no reference to the...
