PROTECTION AGAINST POWER LOSS.
Ships with ship service, emergency, and casualty power distribution systems can be protected against power loss (according to the type of failure) as follows:
a. Failure of One Generator . A remote generator can be connected by bus ties to power the switchboard that normally receives power from the failed generator.
b. Circuit or Switchboard Failure . Vital loads can be transferred to an alternate or emergency source of power by means of a transfer switch near the user equipment.
c. Failure of Both Normal and Alternate Power Supplies . On some ships, when both normal and alternate
sources of ship power fail, vital auxiliaries connected to an emergency switchboard receive power from an
emergency or dual purpose generator. A dedicated emergency system is not provided on all ships.
d. Failure of Ship Service and Emergency Circuits . Temporary circuits can be rigged with the casualty power distribution system. They will supply power to vital auxiliaries if any ship service or emergency generator can be operated.
