LATEST TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENTS – PRACTICAL ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRONICS, HIGH VOLTAGE ON SHIPS
WHAT IS
HIGH VOLTAGE:
The International Electro technical Commission describe high voltage as
above (>)1000 V for alternating current(AC), & at least 1500 V for
direct current(DC) & differentiate it from low voltage (50–1000 V AC or
120–1500 V...

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...
HIGH VOLTAGE VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Vacuum switchgear follows the principle that it is virtually impossible
for electrical current to flow in a vacuum. Therefore, the main contacts
disconnected inside the vacuum bottle. The typical contact material consists of
a tungsten matrix impregnated...
