Synchro
Stator Rotor
It has one primary winding on the rotor and can be rotated 360o and
three secondary windings (Y- connected) on the stator spaced 120o apart.
Depending on the relative voltages induced* in the secondary coils (Stator)
by the primary (Rotor), the resultant stator magnetic field can be made to
rotate through 360o ( *Induced voltage is proportional to Cos θ)
If an iron bar or electromagnet is placed in the stator field and allowed to
turn freely, it will always tend to line up in the direction of the stator magnetic
field
Synchro System
When two synchros are connected together electrically they form the
simplest Synchro System
Purpose : To connect two shafts together so that when one is turned, the
other turns in the same way
Synchro Tx / Rx - Operation
A synchro operates like a transformer that works on the principle of
electromagnetic induction
Principle of Operation
110 V , 50 c/s
In the synchro system the
rotors are connected in
parallel across the AC supply
line
The stator connections
being - S1 to S1, S2 to S2 and
S3 to S3
Principle of operation- Rotor aligned to Stator
2. Salts dissolve into positively and negatively charged ions which enables it
to conduct electricity
1. Oxygen is vital for life and the presence of ample oxygen is an indicator
that a space or tank is safe to get into.
3.1.2.2 Electrical
(i) Electric motors starters, switches, junction boxes and other electrical
equipment associated with watertight door systems, or their indicators, if
situated below the bulkhead deck, are to be watertight in accordance with
the applicable IP ratings in BS EN 60529.
(ii) Motors and associated equipment installed in car decks are to have
an IP rating appropriate to the worst case degree of flooding.

(vii) The distribution board for main and control circuits should be
installed above the bulkhead deck. The warning light on the bridge
indicator should be wired into the main and emergency power supplies
and continuously illuminated to show that power is available and not
illuminated only when the system is activated. An indicator correctly
wired in this manner and activated by a test button is acceptable.

Alarm System – Regulation 51 (cont…)
2.2 Failure of the normal power supply of alarm system shall be indicated by
an alarm
3.2 Alarms shall be maintained until they are accepted and visual indications
of individual alarm shall remain until the fault has been corrected, when the
alarm system shall automatically rest to the normal operating condition
Navigation Lights
Navigational Lights
● The number, position and visible range of navigational lights are prescribed by the
IMO
● For vessels more than 50m, the masthead lights must be visible from a range of 6
nautical miles and other lights from 3 nautical miles
● To achieve such visibility, special incandescent filament lamps of 65W are used but
60W and 40W are also permitted in some cases
● Each light is supplied from Navigational light panel in wheel house
● The electric power at 220V AC fed from essential services section of Main Switchboard
● The Standby power supply is fed from Emergency Switchboard
Navigational Light Panel
● A changeover switch on the Navigational Light Panel selects the Main or Standby
power supply
● The Navigational light panel has indicator lamps and an audible alarm to warn of any
lamp or lamp circuit failure.
● Each lamp circuit has an alarm relay which monitors the lamp current
