Marine Electrical

A Ship cannot run on the traditional electrical systems with less voltage. The high capacity marine diesel engines and other machinery on ships require higher voltage systems to produce more electrical power. Find out the reasons for using high voltage systems on board ships.

Nowadays marine engineers are required to know all important electrical systems of the ship and problems related to them. Learn about ten such important electrical jobs which engineers on board ship must know.

An Amplifier or an operational amplifier (op-amp) circuit is commonly used in the automation, control and other electronic circuits for marine applications. The applied input signal is usually a voltage or a current signal.

Alternate marine power or cold ironing is a method of providing power to the ship from an external source. AMP is getting recognition around the world because of the rise in marine pollution.

Do you know what is marine electricity and how it is generated? Find out everything about marine electrical systems inside this article.

Just like any other machinery systems on board ships, motor starter panel also needs regular maintenance to ensure smooth operations of motors. The article explains important points and procedure for motor starter panel routines and maintenance.

Batteries are one of the energy sources available onboard vessels which are used in case of blackout and emergency situations on board a ship.

Energy efficiency is of sheer importance in all aspects of shipping operations today. The electrical system being one of the most important aspects on board must be included in the ship’s energy efficiency plans. Learn ten ways to achieve energy efficiency in ship’s electrical system.

This is the second article of the series A Guide to Welding Electrodes on Ships. Learn about the different types electrode nomenclature and classification in this article. This is a must-read guide for all mariners.
