3.2. Speed control
The standard cage-rotor a.c. induction motor operates as an almost constant speed drive over its load range. This feature is satisfactory for most of the ship's auxiliary services supply­ing power to ventilation fans and circulating pumps.
Variable speed control is necessary for cranes, winches, windlass, capstans, forced-draught fans etc. Ship's electric pro­pulsion with electronic speed control may use d.c. motors or a.c. induction motors for low / medium power applications. Large power electric propulsion, e.g. for a passenger cruise ship, will use a.c. synchronous motors.
Two main forms of speed change / control are available:
- pole-changing for induction motors to give two or more fixed speeds, e.g. 2-speed forced-draught fans and 3­speed winches;
- continuously variable speed control, e.g. smooth con­trol of deck cranes, winches and electric ship propulsion using variable frequency.
3.3. Maintenance
The maintenance requirements for cage-rotor induction
motors are very simple:
- keep insulation resistance high and contact resistance low;
- lubricate correctly and maintain a uniform air gap;
43
- ensure both the interior and exterior are always clean and dry.
Provided these requirements are met, an induction mo-
tor should give trouble free service during its long life.
For all motors, cleanliness is next to godliness. A regu­lar cleaning routine is required to remove harmful deposits of dust, dirt, grease and oil from both inside and outside the mo­tor. The cleaning of the external surface is especially important for totally enclosed motors which run continuously. The heat generated in these motors is removed through the external sur­face. A thick layer of dust will reduce the heat dissipation and result in very high temperatures. Internal dust and dirt in open ventilated motors must be regularly removed by blowing or extraction and ventilation screens and ducts cleared out.
If motors are to be blown out, the air used must be ab­solutely dry and the pressure should not be more than 1,75 bar. If the pressure is higher than this it forces the dust into the winding insulation rather than removing it.
When blowing out a motor remember to cover up other machines in the area to protect them from flying dust. Suction cleaning is better than blowing out.

1. How does the standard cage-rotor a.c. induction mo-
tor operate?
2. Is variable speed control necessary for cranes, winch-
es, windlass, capstans?

important for totally enclosed motors which run continuously?

4.0. Introduction
To ensure a safe working environment, together with off duty comfort in the accommodation quarters on board your ship, a considerable proportion of the generated electric power is absorbed in the auxiliary services.
46
Lighting of the ship's deck areas, engine room and ac­commodation to meet specified levels of illumination is pro­vided by various light fittings (luminaires) designed to work safely in their particular locations.
The hotel services for food storage, preparation and cooking, together with accommodation air-conditioning and laundry services, are essential for the general maintenance of the mariner.
4.1. Ships’ lighting
Historically, the original application of electricity in ships was for lighting.
The minimum illumination standards for crew spaces are specified in “The Merchant Shipping (Crew Accommoda­tion) Regulations).
The luminous efficiency of a light fitting is defined as the ratio of lumens watt.
Lamp end caps are many and various but the most common types are screw and bayonet fittings.
4.2. Incandescent lamps
The most common lamp used for general lighting is the simple filament type. A current is passed through the thin tung-
47
sten wire filament which raises its temperature to around 3 000 °C when it becomes incandescent (it glows).
The glass bulb is filled with an inert gas such as nitro­gen or argon which helps to reduce filament evaporation to al­low an operating life expectancy of about 1 000 hours. Lamp power ratings are available from 15 W to 1 000 W.

1. What is absorbed to ensure a safe working environ-
ment on board ship?
2. What is lighting of the ship's deck areas, engine room
and accommodation provided by?

crew spaces specified?

4.3. Discharge lamps
The light output from a discharge lamp is generated by the flow of current in an electric arc between two electrodes through a gas and metal vapour inside a sealed glass bulb or tube.
The most common metal vapours employed in dis­charge lamps are:
- Mercury (as used in a fluorescent tube) and
- Sodium.
Low and high-pressure types of mercury and sodium lamps are available.
A suitable voltage applied between the electrodes of a discharge lamp causes an arc discharge through the gas. This ionization of the gas either creates visible light directly or by secondary emission from a phosphor coating on the inside wall of the lamp glass.
The discharge lamp current must be carefully controlled to maintain the desired light output and some form of current limiting ballast is required.
4.4. Navigation and signal lights
The number, position and visible range of navigation lights aboard ships are prescribed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in their International Regulations for
50
Preventing Collisions at Sea. In the UK, the National Authori­ty for maintaining marine safety standards is the MCA (Mari­time and Coastguard Authority).
By far the most common arrangement is to have five specially designed navigation running lights referred to as Foremast, Mainmast (or Aft mast), Port, Starboard and Stem.
Two anchor lights, fitted forward and aft, may also be switched from the Navigation Light Panel on the bridge. The side lights are red for Port and green for Starboard while the other lights are white. For vessels length more than 50 meters, the masthead light(s) must be visible from a range of six nauti­cal miles and the other navigation lights from three nautical miles.
To achieve such visibility, special incandescent fila­ment lamps are used each with a typical power rating of 65 W but 60 W and 40 W ratings are also permitted in some cases.
Due to the essential safety requirement for navigation lights it is common practice to have two fittings at each posi­tion, or two lamps and lampholders within a special dual fit­ting.
Each light is separately supplied, switched, fused and monitored from a Navigation Light Panel in the wheelhouse. The electric power is provided usually at 220 V a.c. with a main supply fed from the essential services section of the main switchboard.
