Q

On the rotating rectifier assembly explain what happens after open circuit diode condition fault indicates

A

Generator output voltage drops and will be compensated by the AVR
This will result in extra strain leading to further breakdown
The generator should be off loaded within 30 minutes and fault investigated

Q

On the rotating rectifier assembly explain what happens after short circuit diode condition fault indicates

A

This will cause an overload of the AC exciter resulting in further damage to diodes

Q

What is the role of the AVR

A

Must maintain constant voltage at the terminals of the ships main generator to an accuracy of +/-1%
