      If you've ever seen one explode, you wear protective gear and stand away from it. Even new breakers can malfunction. We had a 480/150A ABB breaker explode the 7th time it was switched - when it was finally being turned on for use, and there was _zero_ load on it. (the electricians were very unhappy about that, as it's a $750 breaker and it's up to them to get ABB to pay up.)

    As a person whom has done emergency power and distribution for years I can't fathom it not having an ATS and there should be a synchronizing feature there that makes sure that ship power and shore power are completely in phase before it can be transfered. If not you get a situation called bucking phase where you damage all kind of components and total havoc will ensue. Pretty sure there was quite a bit of dramatic B/S put in there for the camera.

    • @Meowface.
      @Meowface. Рік тому +3

      I’m just an apprentice marine mechanic.. but we’ve fired up generators while plugged into shore power without any such consideration for synchronization to the grid
      The boats I’ve been on have always had a switch on the panel
      You’re either pulling from one of the shore power plugs or from the internal supply
      Not possible to connect them together, at least not from anything I’ve ever seen
      Mostly just yachts though not commercial vessels

      @timcope3115 Рік тому +1

      @@jfbeam True, we had a company doing an upgrade to a 3K HP 1500 KW generator and they had been replacing switch gear and several other components. This had taken almost a month. The generator itself was housed in a separate building about 50' from the switch gear.They were ready to fire it up and make a test run so I was in the generator building and started it. Everything came up well on that end. They did some checking and said everything was good on their end so they wanted to do a simulation to make the generator sense that there was a loss of utility and transfer. They did and I went back in the generator building. Of course the generator was running full steam and I heard the ATS slam when it transfered. The generator groaned and then stopped dead in it tracks for a milisecond then attempted to turn backwards then I heard the switchgear drop out and the generator regained itself and was attempting to run right when I hit the emergency stop. This was 4160 volt. They had bucked phase. I went in and they were scratching their head and said they didn't understand why it hadn't synchronized before it transfered. but they didn't see any switches blown out of the cabinets. I told them they better worry about what it had done to that generator and engine. It had a 12' direct drive fan in the front with a 18" aluminum hub the blades set in like aircraft blades. It had cracked that hub luckily none of the blades had slung out. We had to pull the generator itself from the engine and it had stripped the splines in a 4" steel coupling. Other than that no damage. We really thought that it may had damaged the crankshaft in the engine but it hadn't.
