Port generator only trips when running on the board by herself. In parallel operations everything is fine. The trip occurs typically 30-45mins after being online.
"being underway" I mean the vessel is in transit, moving, not at anchor or tied along side the dock.
In response to the earlier...
No different loads that are on
While underway. The starboard generator is fine. That's what is throwing it off. We want to swap out breakers (port to stbd) to see if the problem switched, but I don't thinkit would have been the smart thing to do while we were out to sea. I don't know the amp...
Another tug boat generator trip. Whenever we run our Port Generator and vessel is underway the generator trips. When sitting at anchor or along side the dock we have no trips.
Stbd generator is fine no matter what condition. Which leads us to assume some type of vibration is causing...
I follow what you are all saying. What do you know about "cross current compensation". I'm told our Basler 125-12 VR oly has a droop setting. What we (our marine electrian)have been doing is installing a cross current compensation circuits.
He has been installing a CT on the B-Phase which...
I thought the VR should maintain the voltage if set in automatic? I do know sometimes now and again we have to manually adjust the voltage with the smaller fine tune knob on the front the switchboard, but for the most part should the voltage regulate itself?
I've read a lot on here about the use of voltage regulators droop vs. isochronous. Basically if I'm running in parallel I have to be in droop, and one generator in isochronous.
I work in the Merchant Marine and our tug boat fleet has been suffering from extensive power failures. I've found...
