![Ground Faults A ground fault occurs when In a system with a Ground Faults • A ground fault occurs when: – In a system with a](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image/a1d6f39d769bd91ed22936205d90b611/image-11.jpg)
Ground Faults • A ground fault occurs when: – In a system with a grounded conductor (neutral), the electrons are flowing through ground instead of through the neutral wire. – In a system without a grounded conductor, one of the phases is connected to ground. • Ground faults are detected by either: – Ground fault ammeters. A meter fitted to the switchboard indicates the amount of current flowing back through the Neutral. Ground bond. – Ground (earth) lamps. Lamps are fitted to the switchboard to indicate the voltage of each phase in respect to ground. Normally all the lamps are on, indicating that there is a voltage difference between the phases and ground. If one phase is grounded, the light for that phase will go out.

Electricity Production • • Although most electricity is produced from rotary motion, there are several other technologies such as PV (solar panels) and thermocouples. Changing rotary motion into electricity can be accomplished with either: 1. 2. • • Dynamos – (sometimes also called Generators) produce DC power Alternators – produce AC power Alternators are used almost exclusively now as they are much simpler and reliable then Dynamos. In order to avoid confusion the term “Generating Set” or “Gen. Set” will be used to identify an Engine and Alternator package, although you will probably still hear some people call them “Generators”.

Alternators • Alternators can be either brushed or brushless. • Brushed alternators use little pieces of carbon/graphite to pass electricity across a spinning gap - this often creates little sparks (which can cause radio interference). Brushed alternators are cheaper to produce, but the brushes do wear out over time and require replacement. • Brushless alternators, as their name implies, have no brushes. They are more expensive to produce, but are more reliable and don’t produce sparks. • All alternators use a regulator to regulate the output voltage. This can either be internal or external. • Alternators in DC systems (such as those found in cars) have internal rectifiers to convert the AC output to DC.

Batteries • A battery is a device that converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy. • A battery consists of one or more voltaic cells. Each voltaic cell consists of two half-cells connected in series by a conductive electrolyte. • Depending on type, cells typically have a nominal voltage potential anywhere from 1. 2 V to 3. 0 V.

Lead Acid Wet Cells • Lead acid wet cells contain plates of lead metal (Pb) and lead dioxide (Pb. O 2), in an electrolyte of sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4). • Each lead acid cell has a nominal voltage of ~2 VDC. A battery may be made up of multiple cells (a 12 VDC battery is made up of six cells). • Because of the liquid electrolyte in most leadacid batteries, overcharging with excessive charging voltages will generate oxygen and hydrogen gas (by the electrolysis of water), forming an explosive mix.

Starting batteries](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image/a1d6f39d769bd91ed22936205d90b611/image-32.jpg)
Lead Acid Wet Cells • Different applications require different battery construction: 1. Starting batteries have a large number of thin plates designed for maximum surface area and therefore maximum current output, but can easily be damaged by deep discharges. Repeated discharges below 75% will result in capacity loss and ultimately in premature failure. 2. Deep Cycle batteries have thicker plates that can deliver less peak current, but can withstand the mechanical stresses of frequent deep discharging. A good deep cycle battery can be regularly discharged down to 25%. 3. All-Purpose batteries are a compromise between starting batteries and deep cycle batteries, and should be avoided whenever possible.

Lead Acid Wet Cells • There are three variations of the lead acid wet battery: 1. Flooded (liquid) electrolyte batteries. 2. Gelled electrolyte batteries. 3. Absorbed Glass Mat batteries.

Flooded (liquid) Electrolyte Batteries • The electrolyte is a liquid solution of acid and water. • Distilled water may be added to these batteries to replenish the electrolyte as necessary. • Flooded cells can be charged at a maximum of C/4 (Capacity/4) rate (ie: 400 Ah bank can be charged at 100 A).

Gelled Electrolyte Batteries • The sulphuric acid is mixed with a silica fume, which makes the resulting mass gellike and immobile. • The battery is sealed. Any electrolyte lost during overcharging cannot be replaced. • Gel cells can be charged at a maximum of C/20 (Capacity/20) rate (ie: 400 Ah bank can be charged at 20 A).

Absorbed Glass Mat Batteries • The sulphuric acid is absorbed into a mat of fine glass fibers. • The battery is sealed. Any electrolyte lost during overcharging cannot be replaced. • AGM cells can be charged at a maximum of C/1 (Capacity/1) rate (ie: 400 Ah bank can be charged at 400 A).

Battery Safety • All batteries are dangerous, but large lead acid batteries are particularly so. • Always allow a lead acid battery to “sit” after charging before working on or near it, in order to let the hydrogen and oxygen dissipate. • Keep all battery terminal connections clean and tight to maximize conductivity and prevent local heating or arcing. • When working with or on batteries: – Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles – Use insulated tools to avoid shorting terminals – Make sure there is an eye-wash station and baking soda close at hand – Have a 2 nd person working with you

Terms • Black-out: is when a ship loses all power, usually because of a generator failure or the main breaker tripping. • Electrical Busses: are used for distribution of electrical power to components of a system. • Essential Bus: is an electrical bus to which essential equipment is connected, such as battery chargers and ventilation equipment. • Emergency Bus: is an electrical bus to which emergency equipment is connected, such as the steering system and communication equipment. • Non-Essential Breaker (or Contactor): is a breaker (or switch) that will automatically disconnect non-essential loads in the event of a supply overload in order to prevent a black-out.
