HV and LV Switchboards
A High Voltage Electrical system is defined as a system having
nominal voltage (phase to phase) exceeding 1 kV, but not to
exceed 15 kV. Onshore electrical classifications would consider
this as Medium Voltage
The selection of a high voltage system for ship service depends
from several factors and is in particular dictated by the required
generator outputs.
In general:
Low voltage system is suitable when the nominal output of each
generator is below 8000 kW
High voltage system is suitable when the nominal output of each
generator is over 10000 kW
Both systems are suitable when the nominal output of each generator
is between 8000 and 10000 kW

- What is the difference between a Bus transfer feeder
and a Bus tie?
- Bus transfer feeder has 2 circuit breakers
connected and both switchboards are physically
segregated by fire proof wall or partition
Bus transfer feeder connects 2 switchboards
separated by Fire-proof wall / partition
Bus tie exists in the same cubical/ room

- How many thruster will be lost if Main SWBD 1 fails ?
- Only one thruster
- If the SWBD 1 and SWBD 2 run in single bus and
assuming no protection scheme on the SWBD, then a
short circuit is occurred on the bus, how many
thrusters will be lost ?
- Three thrusters

Discussion
- From where the Switchboard HS1 is getting the supply ?
- Main Generator 1 and Main Generator 2
- Do the both GS on each Main Switchboard (HS1, HS2, HS3)
required to run together ?
- No, bus tie feeders between switchboards can be closed to
make synchronization between generators and share the
load
- What is the bus bar rating for Main Switchboard ?
- 11KV, 2000A, 60Hz, 31.5KA, 1 sec
- Compare to the incomer breaker, which one is bigger ? Why ?
- Incomer breaker 1250A, bus bar rating is bigger. If there is a
overcurrent exceeds the breaker rating, it is still safe for the
bus bar because the nominal current rating is bigger than its
incomer

Discussion
- From Where Emergency Switchboard is getting the main supply
?
- From Bus A and Bus C 690V Switchgears
- If the Main Switchboard HS1 is lost, can the vessel still perform
drilling operation ?
- Yes, because drilling switchgears have three (3) independent
bus sections with NORMALLY OPEN breaker between the
sections and each having supply from each 11KV Main
Switchgear sections via transformer feeders
- If there is a fire on Main Switchboard Room HS2. What will be
happen on other SWBD (HS1 and HS3) ?
- Not affected. A60 partition bulkhead between switchgears are
available and bus tie feeders between switchgears are
NORMALLY OPEN during normal operation

Discussion
- If all Main switchboard run in 4 splits mode, and
SWBD MV2 is lost. Can the vessel perform drilling
using No.1 Drilling Drive Switchboard ?
- Can, interlock mechanism on the No.1 drilling drive
switchboard incoming breaker will be opened and
closed the breaker on No.2 drilling drive
switchboard. At the same time bus tie feeder
between the switchboards are closed
- If the Main Distribution & MCC LV3 is lost due to short
circuit on the bus bar, can the operator operate the
Drilling MCC2 ?
- No

exit under normal operating conditions or such
concentrations may exits frequently due to
repairs, maintenance or leakage.
Class I Div 2: locations in which ignitable
concentration of flammable gas or vapors would
occur only as result of accident or breakdown of

Rational: after a blow out, gas may present
throughout the platform, and the equipment
operable is to be safe with presence of gas.
Special Considerations

equipment) can be installed in Class I Div2
(NEC 501.8B) with no hazardous area
certification, i.e. squirrel cage motors.

walls comprising 50% or less vertical wall area
than the total wall area possible is considered
to be adequately ventilated (regardless of the
type of floor).

Hazardous Location
1) The Driller's Cabin will be pressurized in accordance to NFPA 496
(Chapter 5) or equivalent standard so that the interior of the Driller's
Cabin is a non-hazardous location. NFPA 496 (Chapter 5.4) requires
that the pressurization system is capable of maintaining a positive
pressure of 25 Pa (0.1 in. water) with all openings closed and to
maintain a minimum outward air velocity of 60fpm (0.305m/sec) when
all openings are open. An alarm is to be fitted for low pressure in the
cabin.
2) It is to be demonstrated that the door remains gas tight after
closing on its own.
3) For units where ABS is issuing the MODU Code certificate the
government administration agreement is required.

Deck and Bulkhead Penetrations
Where cables pass through watertight, firetight or smoke-tight
bulkheads or decks, the penetrations are to be made through the
use of approved stuffing tubes, transit devices or pourable
materials which will maintain the watertight, firetight or smoke-
tight integrity of the bulkheads or decks
When cables pass through non-watertight bulkheads where the
bearing surface is less than 6.4 mm (0.25 in.), the holes are to be
fitted with bushings having rounded edges and a bearing surface
for the cable of at least 6.4 mm(0.25 in.) in length.
Where cables pass through deck beams or similar structural parts
care is to be taken to eliminate sharp edges.
Where cable conduit pipe or equivalent is carried through decks or
bulkheads, arrangements are to be made to maintain the integrity
of the water or gas tightness of the structure.
Cables are not to pass through a collision bulkhead.

wrong ???
Fire Detection Case Study
Fire Detection Case Study
Acceptable ?
Typically in Machinery Spaces with high deckhead only
smoke detectors are installed, because thermal
detectors will not be effective due to the height and
the ventilation.
Thermal Detectors should be installed only in low
deckhead mach. spaces.
SOLAS Reg.II-2/4.2: Except in spaces of restricted
height and where their use is specially appropriate,
detection systems using only thermal detectors shall not
be permitted.
During survey, factors of height and ventilation
are to be considered.
