4 FAQs about Cabinet ship main generator

What is a generator cabinet?

Typically, the cabinets contain measuring current transformers and voltage transformers to protect the generator. They may also include overvoltage protection of generator, optionally with protective capacitors, or a partial discharge measurement system of the generator windings. The cabinets are adapted to the generator design, project by project.

How are the cabinets adapted to the generator design?

The cabinets are adapted to the generator design, project by project. It can be one common cabinet for the power output and the star point - MTB & N, or it can be divided spatially into two cabinets MTB part (power output) and N part (star point).

Where is the main switchboard located on a ship?

The main switchboard is generally located near the centre of the distribution system and this is normally the main engine room or machinery control room. These locations are normally below the ship's waterline or below the uppermost continuous deck of the ship i.e. the bulkhead or main deck.

How do you control auxiliary motors on a ship?

For ship's that do not have automated machinery operation, the most economic method of control is to provide local starters for each auxiliary motor supplied from power panels located in the same or adjacent spaces. These motors would be manually controlled (start and stopped), locally at the motor's controller (starter).
