FUNCTION 5: MARINE ELECTROTECHNOLOGY
1. What is special about steering gear safety.
It has got overload alarm at 150% and short circuit trip.
2. Maintenance of alternator what all to do.
(a) Clean the felt/ air filters.
(b) Remove dust/ dirt from the rotor.
(c) Clean the connections and put some petroleum jelly.
(d) Check the air gap with the plastic feeler gauge.
(e) Check the lub oil level in bearing.
(f) Insulation resistance to take with megger.
(g) Check condition of winding.
(h) Carry out continuity test.
3. Purpose of air gap and how checked.
To avoid the mechanical contact between the stator & rotor and to determine the
condition of the bearing. Measured with the help of feeler gauge.
4. Trips on air circuit breaker with values
5. conditions for paralleling alternators
(a) Frequency
(b) Phase
(c) Voltage
6. How to parallel alternators
There are three methods of Paralleling alternators:(i) Dark lamp method
(ii) Bright lamp Method
(iii) Synchorscope
7. Why megger is used to test insulation and not multi meter
Megger is used to test insulation because it has higher range say upto 500V.
