Study Notes
Electrical ESWS Questions
- Switchboard Locations: 1SB (forward of CPO mess), 2SB (by post office), 3SB (by ship's classroom), 1SA & 1SG AUX 1, 2SA & 2SP & 2SG MER2, 3SA & 3SG 3GEN
Load Shed
- Automatic Load Shed Point: Occurs automatically when generator output reaches 100% rated load for 100ms. This avoids overloading the generator.
- Purpose of Load Shed: To maintain generator within normal parameters. This ensures continued power supply to vital loads.
Load Centers
- Number of Load Centers: 23
- Numbering Convention: First number represents the electrical zone (e.g., Zone 1). Second number indicates port or starboard (e.g., LC 12 is in Zone 1 on the port side).
APD Ratings
- APD Ratings: +/-5% voltage, +/-0.2Hz, +/-15 degrees phase angle.
- Purpose: Prevents generator paralleling when not in phase.
400 Hz Converters
- Purpose: Combat systems require 400 Hz but generators run at 60 Hz, converters change the frequency.
- Location: Forward and Aft power conversion rooms.
Shore Power Terminals
- Number of Terminals: 12
- Number Used: 10
- Feed Location: Midships topside, feeding 2SP switchboard (in MER2).
Generator Ratings
- Ratings: 4800 Amps, 3000 kW, 450 Volt, 60 Hz
Degaussing Coils
- Types: Athwartships coil, Main coil, FP QP - Focsle Quarterdeck Permanent and FI QI - Focsle Quarterdeck Induced
- Purpose: Hide ship's magnetic signature by inducing currents to create a controllable field, helping avoid detection by magnetic mines.
Degaussing Components (besides coils)
- Components: Power supply units
- Location: Power supply room (next to the refer decks), remote control panel on the bridge, and degaussing switchboard in CCS
ABT and MBT
- ABT: Alternate source for vital loads; automatically shifts to another power source if one fails.
- MBT: Alternate source; not automatically used on vital loads; requires manual shifting from one source to the other.
