Moulded case circuit breaker
List 5 breakers fitted to a generic distribution system
Supply breaker Shore breaker Interconnecting breaker Bus bar linking breaker Feeder breaker
What is power book and where is it used
Power Book shoes distribution of all 440V services used when tracing which services are fed from which fuse panel, transformer l, MCCB and EDC
What is the reference book
The power book lists all the fittings, number fitted, component symbols and pattern numbers
What is the ratio of 440 V fuses regarding fuse discrimination
3:1
What is the ratio for 115V fuses regarding fuse discrimination
2:1
Explain breaker discrimination
The breaker nearest the fault would trip first.
supply breaker being furthest from the fault would trip last.
What does MCR stand for
Machinery control room
What does PCP, SCP
Primary control position
Secondary control position
List the meters fitted to a switch board generator section
Volt meter Amp meter Earth fault indicator Syncroscope Frequency meter KW meter
Where are the breaker operating switches found and what are they called
Discrepancy switches located in PCP
Describe the connection shore supply
A permit to work from is raised prior to arrival
The shore supply’s breakers are to be racked out
The shore supply box is cover is removed and connection check for dead
A castle key is obtained from dockyard
Continuity, non contact and insulation resistance tests are carried out on shore supply cables
Shore supply cables are brought onto the ship and secured
Cables are connected to shore supply box
Inform the dockyard who will then switch on the power and ensure correct phase connection
What are the rules regarding to earthing the ship when connection shore supply
Ship must always be earthed to the jetty or by the ships alongside by two points. No less than half the ships length apart, plus gangeay
What is used to confirm correct phase rotation with respect to shore supply
A phase sequence indicator the right one should be brighter
What would happen to a motor if phase rotation is wrong
Motors would run backwards
List 3 types handover switches
Normal/alternative
Normal/emergency
Normal/alternative/emergency
List 3 types of switches
Hand change over switch

What and where are the 440 v earth testing facilities found
Earth indicator lights is located on switchboard
Why are the Speer are 115v testing facilities
Not physically connected to the primary winding
What does c and c stand for
Control and communication
Define what a converted supply is
A converted supply has its voltage or frequency changed from 450 v,60 hz
