Study Notes
Power Failure (Blackout)
- A blackout is a situation on a ship where the main propulsion plant and associated machinery, such as boilers, purifiers, and auxiliaries, stop operating due to the failure of the power generation system.
- This failure affects the entire ship, from the bridge to the engine room, and impacts all crew members, whether on duty or sleeping.
- A blackout can occur due to various reasons, including:
Generator Malfunction
- Fuel pump failure
- Lube oil pressure loss
- Any other machine malfunction
- Although ships have a Power Management System, which can facilitate the startup of another generator on standby, there may be a time delay in taking the load, causing a blackout.
Overload on Air Circuit Breaker
- Sudden overload on the air circuit breaker can lead to a blackout.
