Ensure Equipment Safety with High Resistance Grounding and Flexgen

Just like electrical grounding protects electrical equipment from shocks in buildings, it also prevents electrical shocks or electricity-related issues on ships. A ship contains an extensive collection of electrical wires and complicated electrical equipment that ensure smooth running of functions. Earth fault is one of the most critical issues that can happen on a ship. The seriousness and type of steps to be taken depend on the type of the affected electrical system. Regular ships that operate on 3 Phase have earth fault indicators installed on all three phases. A ground fault detector is installed for the immediate detection of faults in a grounding system. Effective high resistance grounding solutions can greatly reduce mishaps in faulty equipment. Ground fault monitoring is crucial to ensure the reliability and safety of a ship’s electrical systems. There are plenty of protective devices available that can detect fault conditions and handle circuit breakers to ...

High Resistance Grounding to Protect Electrical Equipment and Appliance

High resistance grounding systems facilitate electrical systems and appliances to keep continuity in functioning, reducing equipment damage and shock hazard. HRG solutions are utilized to have a continuous operation and to increase safety in case there are any fault conditions. Let us discuss more. The type of HRG systems and devices are designed to provide ground fault detection and control of transient overvoltages. Such systems help in minimizing the possibility of insulation failure in motors, transformers, power cables, and other electronic equipment. High resistance grounding systems help in reducing burning and melting effects in faulted electric equipment. This equipment and system can be switchgear, transformers, cables, and rotating machines, et cetera. Due to fault currents, mechanical stresses occur in circuits and apparatus. With the HRG system, this stress can be reduced too. There is a significance of grounding electrical distribution system so that there can be a r...

Know About Generator Control Devices and Marine Alarm Panel

Here we are discussing two types of generator control devices used in industrial automation and process control applications, and a panel for marine alarm systems. Let us start with generator control devices, Potentiometer and Synchroscope . In the industrial automation and process control applications, several devices and machines are utilized to keep proper control over the processes and on the entire system. One of the significant generator control devices is a potentiometer. A motorized potentiometer is used for speed controls, flow meters, tensioning motors, et cetera. This device functions by allowing automatic remote control in addition to the use of a manual control knob. Neither it requires a computer for operation nor software to write. It is a simple device with easy set-up. It is easy to operate to maintain smooth performance, high linearity, resolution, reliable terminations, and durability. A type of device that is designed to indicate the degree to which two systems a...
