Q

Describe the connection shore supply

A

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

A

Primary

Secondary

30
Q

What are the characteristics of the 2 batteries

A

Primary not rechargeable

Secondary- rechargeable

31
Q

What are the capacity of a battery measured in

A

Batteries are measured in amps per hour

32

What is the output of the generators fitted to a type 23

A

The output is 600V,61.2Hz,3 phase,1.3MW

36
Q

Why do we produce such a voltage

A

450V system would not have given a large enough range of speeds when using the electrical propulsion system

37
Q

What are the breakers fitted to a type 23 p and d system

A
Supply breakers
Inter connector breaker 
Shore supply breaker 
Electric motor breaker

A

Convert regulator converts and regulates the voltage at 750VDC

39
Q

What is the voltage required for the ships services and how is it produces

A

450 v required for ships services in s generated by motor generator

40
Q

What are EDPS and how many types are fitted

A

Three types of EDP’s are fitted to a type 23

41
Q

What are shedable services and why do we have them

A

Provide power to non-essential equipment and allow, more power to the propulsion’s motor

42
Q

What would happen if we were to loose both motor generators and how is this achieved

A

The 600V generator can be re-configurated to supply 450V to the 450v system via a 4 position witch to the rear of the switchboard

44
Q

What are EMACB

A

Electrical motor air circuit breaker, supplies 600 V to the electric propulsion motor

45
Q

Why is the electric propulsion preferred when involved in submarine warfare

A

To reduce noise, reducing the range and which our ships can be detected and our own interference with towed array sonar operation

46
