(if fitted). The cable must, of course, be adequately supported along horizontal and vertical runs by suitable cable clips or ties.
Where cable-runs along an open deck have expansion loops, these must be examined for abrasion and wear.
Where cables pass though fire check bulkheads they must be correctly glanded or pass through stopper boxes which prevent the passage of fire between compartments.
Probably the most common ship-board cable insulations used are EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) or butyl rubber which is sheathed with either PCP (polychloroprene) or CSP (chlorosulphonated polyethelene).
Where EPR / butyl cable terminations may be subjected to oil vapour it is usual to tape or sleeve the cable ends to pre­vent deterioration of the insulation. Check that such taping is secure.
Flexible cables to light fittings, power tools, etc., should be inspected for mechanical damage. In normal operation a flexible cable may be repeatedly dragged and chafed so re­ducing its safety. If in doubt replace flexible cables.
A copper strap or flexible earthing braid / wire is used to bond the steel frame of all electrical motors and other equipment to the ship's hull.

6.7. Insulation resistance
The surveyor will require a list which shows the results of recent insulation tests on all main 440 V and 220 V circuits.
Such a list should also indicate the test date's, weather conditions (hot, humid, etc.) together with any comments rele­vant to the test conditions (e.g. machine hot or cold).
For essential items such as generators and main motors, the surveyor will be more interested in the IR trend, so a set of
84
past results showing the insulation history of such machines may be requested.
6.8. Motors and starters
After checking through the IR test results list, a survey­or may ask to witness a repeat test on selected motors. A visual examination of a motor frame and terminal box will reveal any damaged or missing parts. General neglect will be suspected if the motor is covered with dirt, oil or rust.
Totally enclosed fan ventilated (TEFV) induction mo­tors require little attention as their windings are protected against the external atmosphere. The surveyor will be more likely to concentrate on motors with drip proof, weatherproof and deck-watertight enclosures. It may be necessary to open up such motors to check for ingress of oil and water which could damage insulation and cause internal corrosion.
Special machines such as d.c. commutator or a.c. slip­ring types used, for example, on an electric windlass, must have their rotary contacts and brush gear checked.
Cargo cranes and winches are not strictly part of a sur­vey as they are not considered essential to the safety of the ship.
A running test on a motor will reveal any vibration problems, undue noise and worn out bearings. On-load, the motor running current (shown on the ammeter at the starter)
85
should be checked against the value indicated on the motor rat­ing plate.
With starters and associated control gear such as remote stop / start buttons, regulating resistors etc., an inspection will check mainly for badly burned and misaligned contacts. The general condition of starter equipment will also be examined. This would include an inspection for loose connections, worn pigtails on moving contacts, badly carbonized arc-chutes and signs of overheating on coils, transformers and resistors. Dust and weather-proof sealing features on a starter must be in place and in a serviceable condition.
Functional checks will test the normal operation of the starter from its local, remote and emergency control (if appli­cable) positions. Signal status lamps showing the motor / start­er condition, e.g. running, off, tripped, etc., must be demon­strated as working correctly. Overcurrent trip settings should be compared with the motor full-load current (FLC) rating. Motor starter back-up fuse size and type may be checked against the ship's / manufacturer's drawings and the motor rating.
Answer the questions:
1. What should a list which shows the results of recent
insulation tests indicate?
2. Why do totally enclosed fan ventilated (TEFV) in-
duction motors require little attention?
86
3. What does a running test on a motor reveal?
4. What does the general condition of starter equipment
inspection include?

6.9. Emergency power and associated equipment
This section surveys the operation of the emergency generator and / or battery power equipment (inspection of the
87
emergency generator itself is covered under the heading of Generators and Governors).
The emergency generator must be started, manually or automatically, while the initiation sequence and operation of starting equipment is observed.
Electrical supplies taken from the emergency switch­board should be checked as receiving their rated voltage, cur­rent and frequency when powered from the emergency generator.
Emergency lighting, fire pump and other emergency electrical equipment must be functioning correctly. Electrical interlocking arrangements between main and emergency switchboard must be checked. Auto-start initiation relays, whether voltage or frequency operated, will be examined and tested.
The ship's emergency battery installation and its charg­ing rectifier will be examined. In particular the battery envi­ronment must be dry and well ventilated. The battery tops must be clean with terminal posts and connections appearing free from corrosion.
Grease all connections with petroleum jelly. Battery electrolyte should be at its proper level and have the correct value of specific gravity (SG) as checked on a hydrometer. Safety notices and personnel safety clothes (gloves, apron and goggles) should be available adjacent to the batteries. The ven­tilation arrangements for the battery locker will be checked.
88
Battery charging equipment should be given the normal checks for dirt, over-heating, loose connections and correct functioning of indicators, instruments and alarms.
6.10. Parts of steering gear
An electrohydraulic steering gear system can be envis­aged from the surveyor's viewpoint as being in three parts:
- power unit;
- steering control;
- indications and alarms.
The power unit comprises duplicate electric motors and starters supplied from either side of the main switchboard.
On many ships one of the steering gear motors will be supplied via the emergency switchboard as recommended by the SOLAS requirements for certain vessel types, e.g. passen­ger ships and ferries.
The motors, starters and any changeover supply switch units will be inspected under the same criteria outlined earlier in the section on Motors and Starters.
Rudder control from the bridge position may be via a hydraulic telemotor or via an electric controller or both. Main and alternative electric supplies, including any changeover fa­cilities for the electric control from the steering wheel and for the auto pilot, must be tested.
89
The steering gear and its control must be functionally tested for its response. This is generally specified to be that the rudder must be swung from 32° port to 32° starboard in 28 seconds. Note, a fully loaded response can only be obtained when the ship is loaded and under way at sea. Steering gear status indications must be operating correctly in the steering flat, main control room and on the bridge. The rudder position indicators on the bridge may be checked during the functional testing of the steering gear. The bridge indication should be compared with the direct mechanical indicator on the rudder stock in the steering flat.
Motor overcurrent alarms can be initiated by simulating the action of the overcurrent relay. Remember that a steering gear motor does not have overcurrent trip protection; the only main circuit protection being from the back-up fuses which are essential for short-circuit protection. Hydraulic fluid low level alarms, if fitted, must be checked for correct initiation by the oil level sensors.
Answer the questions:
1. How must the emergency generator be started?
2. What is the ship's emergency battery and battery
charging equipment checked for?
