D/C Power Systems General Locations

D/C Power Systems There are two types of D/C Power sources on the new fireboat: • 24 Volt • 12 Volt These are further subdivided into three types of distributions: • D/C Main Services • D/C Emergency Services • Engine (Prime Mover) Starting

D/C Power Systems • The 24 V and 12 V Main Power Systems provide power for devices and end users that are important to the operation of the fireboat. • The 24 V and 12 V Emergency Power Systems provide power for devices and end users that are critical to operation of the fireboat. • The Engine Starting batteries are independent to the engine they start, and are not tied into any of the 24 V or 12 V Service Systems.

D/C Power Systems We will describe the 24 V and 12 V Main and Emergency Service Systems by starting in the wheelhouse, and working our way down into the machinery spaces – identifying each D/C Service System as we locate it. We will then describe the Engine Starting Battery systems in the Engine Room.

D/C Power Systems Engine Room 24 VDC Service Panel Aft Hold, Stbd Foam Tank Bulkhead Panel DC 2 contains the following breakers: • Central Mach Alarm Monitor Back-up • Fwd Pump Engine Control • Aft Pump Engine Control • Port Main Engine RPM Control • Stbd Main Engine RPM Control • Fwd Pump Engine RPM Contol • Aft Pump Engine RPM Control • Deck Cran Controls • Port Main Engine Controls • Stbd Main Engine Contols • C-12 Pump Engine 3 RPM Control • C-12 Pump Engine 3 Engine Control • Port Genset Engine Control • Stbd Genset Engine Control

D/C Power Systems Engine Room 24 VDC Batteries Aft Hold, On Top of Stbd Foam Tank In order to meet the power demand of this system, there are (2) pair of 12 Volt 8 D AGM batteries. The pair are in series to create 24 Volts, and those pair are placed in parallel with another pair to increase the depth of power available. There are (8) 8 D batteries in this system, and they are difficult to access. A good day to call in sick when they need replacement!

D/C Power Systems Engine (Prime Mover) Starting Batteries All Engine Starters are 24 VDC The D/C Power for engine starting comes from independent pairs of 12 Volt AGM batteries, in series, under or near each of the following engines: • Starboard Main: Under E/R floor plates between Pump Engine 1 and Starboard Main. Two (2) 8 D batteries in series. • Port Main: Under E/R floor plates outboard of Port Main Engine near Lufkin Gearbox. Two (2) 8 D batteries in series. • Pump Engine #3 (C-12): Under E/R floor plates outboard of Starboard Genset. Two (2) 4 D batteries in series. • Starboard Genset: Under E/R floor plates outboard of Starboard Genset. Two (2) 31 series batteries in series. • Port Genset: Under E/R floor plates, and under Port Genset. Two (2) 31 series batteries in series. At this time, these starting batteries are configured to be re-charged from their respective engine’s alternator only, but we are working on getting independent chargers installed… Note: These batteries are also difficult to access, another good reason for sick leave.
