06-Jan- Visvanathan Fn 5 1. Relation between poles and speed of induction motor.
18 A. f=np/120
2. In a sq cage motor how many poles are there in the rotor?
A. Same number of poles will be created in the rotor as that of
stator.
3. What is the speed of fire pump? What is the delivery
pressure?
A. 1800 rpm and 9 bar
4. How do you make it 3 bar with less speed?
A. By using variable frequency drive, we will reduce the
frequency and speed decreases.
5. Have you seen that on board?
A. No.
6. How does emg generator start?
A. A relay present between the bus ties of msb and esb is
energised as long as msb has power. Loss of power will cause
this relay to activate the starting mechanism of emg generator.
7. Types of starters.
A. DOL, star delta, auto transformer and soft starter
8. Most commonly used starters?
A. For motors less than 5kW — DOL, for above 5 kW, I said I
have seen both star delta and auto transformers.
9. How does a soft starter work?
A. By the help of thyristors.
10. What is high voltage and what are its advantages?
A. From 1000 V is regarded HV. More voltage means less
current can be sent. Less cross section of conductors. Less
current means less insulation and smaller protective devices.
High voltage and less current means, the size of the machines
will be small for the same powe output. Overall, by using HV we
can reduce material a lot.
11. What about the size of the generator in HV?
A. Will be bigger.
12. Is bigger generator economical?
A. When compared to the saving made in other eqpt, having a
bigger generator will be compensated.
13. How many voltages are there on board?
A. 450V, 220V, 110V and 24 V.
14. Where do you use 110 V?
A. NO ANSWER.
15. Tell about energy audit.
A. Did not answer properly. Only said the power consumption
of all machines is charted and ways to reduce wastage are
implemented.
16. How is ship earthed?
 RTQ – MUMBAI 9

A. Through hull and to sea.

17. Should ship be earthed during dry docking? Have you done
a dry dock?
A. I have never done a dry dock.
