In the previous article we learnt about the importance of alternator on a ship and a method for alternator protection - Over current protection and about preferential trips. In this article we will learn about two more methods for protecting alternators on ship reverse power protection system and under voltage protection.
Under normal power flow, the trip contacts on the disc spindle are open and the disc bears against a stop.When reverse power occurs , the disc rotates in other direction and moves away from the stop and moves towards the trip relay. A time delay of 5 seconds is also provided so as to prevent tripping during synchronizing process. The general reverse power settings are 2 to 6% for turbine power movers and 8 to 15% for diesel engines.
