What are fitted to edc
Mccb
450v each faults indicate automatically why is this not possible with 115 v
Because there’s an air gaps within the transformers
Describe breaker discrimination
The fuse or breaker closest to the to the equipment will fail first to protect the power source
6 switchboard indicator lights
Control available/not available,
generator running,
fire detected,
over temperature,
breaker trip
earth fault

Prove box is dead
Obtain castle key
Test shore supply cables
Bring on and secure cables
Connect cables
Inform dockyard
What is the purpose of earth bonding
To safeguard personnel should equipment casing become live creating a path of least resistance to earth
Characteristics of secondary cell
Rechargeable and require specialist charging equipment
What is a battery capacity measured in
Amps per hour
3 main purposes of C and C
RICE

Rules when connecting ashore
Ship must be earthed at 2 points no longer than half the ships length
How to earth at SS
-Earth jetty
-Earth to ship along side
-Gang ways are to be earthed
-at 2 points no less than half the ships length
3 categories of changeover switches
ACOS-automatic
ROSCOS-remote operated
HCOS-hand
All rn ships can
-Receive power from SS
-Receive power from other ship
-provide power to another ship or Shore side
