The rated voltage of an electrical power source is defined as the terminal voltage at full rated load current. The output terminal voltage rises with decreasing load current, risin... Read more
This type of Ship’s Diagram includes basic circuit logic. Electrical components are confined by ‘series and parallel’ rules. These rules are essential in the understanding of... Read more
The main advantages low-impedance ship’s grounded systems are: No special attention for equipment insulation required – Automatic detection and immediate isolation of ground... Read more
The function of a ship’s electrical distribution system is to safely convey the generated electrical power to every item of consumer equipment connected to it. Probably the m... Read more
Power currents (a. c.) can be measured simply by means of a clamp meter which acts as a current transformer. The instrument tongs are clipped round a single insulated conductor... Read more
