- How to rack out the VCB
• HOW TO RACK OUT VACUUM...
Our Bow thruster VCB cannot be opened hence it cannot just simply rack out to check what is wrong to the breaker.
Here is the step by step procedure I did in order for me to fix the trouble. I hope you can learn from this video.

• HOW TO RACK OUT VACUUM...
I don't know much about ship equipment. But it is nice to know that the rule that you can fix 90% of the things with WD-40 and Duct tape also applies to ships! :)
Just FYI WD-40 is a terrible lubricant. It's mostly a solvent. It works well for freeing stuck things but needs to be followed up with a proper lubricant otherwise the problem is going to return.
You may want to look into the life cycle of these VCBs. That Bow Thruster VCB is sitting on around 5000 operations which is nearing on the limit of its mechanical life, that is probably why you are starting to find signs of wear internally.
As someone who grew up far from to ocean, the idea of 6600v equipment on a ship is a little mind boggling. I realize that heavy equipment needs high voltages, but the idea of multi-thousand volt equipment on a ship is something I never would have thought of.
Nice to know that WD-40 has its uses even on multi-million dollar ships.
Finally, found a real ship maintenance !!!!
We have more mechanical issues with our high vol switch gear than electrical! Lol. Back in the day, the buss rails and plugs were made of all high quality parts and with regular maintenance would never fail. Now they try to save money and use cheap stuff. Plastic instead of metal, pot metal instead of billet and so on.
Thanks for the interesting video. WD40 is actually a poor lubricant. It is a water displacement fluid and tends to evaporate and disperse over time. A good quality synthetic oil or grease would be much better.
Even im not electrician, i really enjoyed all your video. I always gain new knowledge from those videos
I learned you followed safety proceedures and exercized the equipment and that is all it needed.
I always learn something in your every video, thank u lecky jake😁
I just found your channel and wanted to thank you. This information is extremely interesting.
Mad skill, mad ability, mad knowledge.... awesome video, good sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is so good to find!! I’m leaving soon for the navy as an electrician for the ships :)
I love this video, so interesting to see the electrical system of a large ship, subbed and looking forward to more videos !
You are a living legend, thank you mate.....
Interesting video, my Dad was an AB on ships in the 1950s - 1980s based in New Zealand. Mostly bulk carriers I think. 👍 I will sub!
Great job and methodically carried out just as it should be.
Good idea wearing the HEV suit. Never know when you're going to have a resonance cascade.
Thank you sir... It's very helpful for Trainee ETO... 🙂👍
