Blackout Test. Protections of an emergency diesel generator

Greetings! In the previous article on diesel engines, we discussed the protection of auxiliary diesel generators, which are most often tested on a ship during inspections in ports. In this article, we will consider the protections of an emergency diesel generator, as well as the procedure for testing a blackout of a ship's power plant.

At first I wanted to write that the protection of the emergency diesel generator (EDG) in ports is checked very rarely, but recently the Belgian PSC suddenly decided to check the protection of our emergency diesel. Therefore, in order to always be prepared for any checks, it is worth being aware of all the protections that this engine has.
