How to read electrical diagrams on a ship? Main engine turning gear operation diagram

Greetings! You have motivated me to write this article. Thank you for your comments to the previous article "Installing a timer in the electrical diagram of the main engine turning gear" and in social network groups. In fact, writing such articles takes a lot of time and effort, so motivation and support are needed. And it is enough to just write a positive review ;)

In this article I will try to explain in simple language the principle of reading electrical circuits on a ship using the example of the main engine turning gear device.

ACB Trouble. The generator does not connect to the main busbars. Troubleshooting

Greetings! In this article will discuss one of the problems with diesel generators, which is possible and rare, but happens on ships. In general, any problem with generators for an ETO is a sore and most discussed topic.

Also here we will briefly examine the conditions for synchronizing ship synchronous generators (alternators).

The 220V emergency equipment transformer was tripped. Actions of the ETO on the vessel

Greetings! Today we have switched off all 220V emergency equipment on the vessel, including 220V emergency lighting. In this article we will analyze the cause of this breakdown, as well as ways to find and fix the problem.

Service emergency transformers 440 / 220 V

In this situation, it is necessary to immediately check the emergency distribution board, which contains all the automatic switches (breakers) for emergency power sources on the ship.
