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

What are the main voltages used in the c and c switchboard
24 volts DC | 115 volts,400 hertz
26
What and where is the earth testing facilities for 24V D.C
An earth test panel on the switchboard provides for testing the positive and negative side of the DC supply
27
What does TRU stand for
Transformer rectifier unit
28
What does RTR stand for
Rationalised transformer rectifier
29
Batteries fall into 2 categories what are they
Primary | Secondary
30
What are the characteristics of the 2 batteries
Primary not rechargeable | Secondary- rechargeable
31
What are the capacity of a battery measured in
Batteries are measured in amps per hour
32
What is the voltage of a fully charged cell
2.1 fully charged
33
What is the voltage of a discharged cell
1.75 v discharged
34
How many diesel generators are fitted to type 23
There are 4 diesel generators fitted to a type 23
35
What is the output of the generators fitted to a type 23
The output is 600V,61.2Hz,3 phase,1.3MW
36
Why do we produce such a voltage
450V system would not have given a large enough range of speeds when using the electrical propulsion system
37
What are the breakers fitted to a type 23 p and d system
``` Supply breakers Inter connector breaker Shore supply breaker Electric motor breaker Motor generator feeder breaker Diesel generator alternative supply breaker ```
38
What does the converter regulated do
Convert regulator converts and regulates the voltage at 750VDC
39
What is the voltage required for the ships services and how is it produces
450 v required for ships services in s generated by motor generator
40
What are EDPS and how many types are fitted
Three types of EDP’s are fitted to a type 23
41
What are shedable services and why do we have them
Provide power to non-essential equipment and allow, more power to the propulsion’s motor
42
What would happen if we were to loose both motor generators and how is this achieved
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
43
What services does the emergency switchboard supply
``` Steering motors Hp salt water pump Sugary Smoke clearance exhaust fans Portable pump sockets ```
44
What are EMACB
Electrical motor air circuit breaker, supplies 600 V to the electric propulsion motor
45
Why is the electric propulsion preferred when involved in submarine warfare
To reduce noise, reducing the range and which our ships can be detected and our own interference with towed array sonar operation
46
What SRPM and knots do 2 diesel generators produced
2 generation= 65 SRPM | =8-9knots
47
What SRPM and knots do 3 diesel generators produce
3 generators= 80 SRPM=10-12 knots
48
What SRPM and knots do 4 diesel generators produce
4 generators= 90 SRPM=14 knots
49
In the event of action damage to the SCC, how can the propulsion motors be controlled
Propulsion motors can be controlled from the local control panels
50
What and where are the 440V earth testing facilities found
Earth indicator light is located on switchboard
51
Why are there delegate 115v testing facilities
Not physically connected to the primary welding
52
When are the navigation lights tested and by who
Lights are testing daily hour before sunset, normally by the duty ETME
53
Whose permission must be gained
Permission to switch lights on must be obtained from the OOW/OOD
54
Where are navigation lights controlled from and switched on and off
Navigation light control panel, versatile console system
55
List all statutory navigation lights, their colour and location
Side lights green and red are starboard and port The last head steaming light forwards and af(white) Stern light(white)
56
List all combination of special operation lights
Not under command —2 steady lights port 2 steady lights starboard Replenishment at sea—2 steady lights port and starboard M.O.B—2 flashing red lights port and 2 starboard vertically mounted on the main mast
57
Where are special operation lights switched from
VCS 428 unit
58
List all miscellaneous light anchor lights
Anchor lights | Masthead obstruction lights
59
How are the emergency navigation lights fed
Emergency navigation lights are fixed in position adjacent to their normal counter parts and are supplied via fixed wiring by two series connected 12 volt batteries
60
Why is it important to switch on the emergency navigation before being hoisted
If they are hoisted then plugged in an induced current may be present due to radar and radio aerial interference
61
List 4 main components of a fluorescent light fitting
Stater Tube Switch supply Choke coil
