Electric motors have many marine uses - for example, in deck machinery and pumps. ABB is a specialist in motor control and protection, and has solutions for all starting methods. Manual and compact motor starters are mainly used for simple applications with smaller motors (below approx. 40 kw.) In marine projects, exact MCB ratings are often defined very late on. Smissline is a safe power distribution system for DIN rail mount products that allows panel builders to finalize delivery without the MCBs. Later, when defined, the MCBs can just be snapped on to the Smissline DIN rail. This makes projects faster and life easier for panel builders. Low-voltage switchgear is always a vital part of marine power systems, whether power is generated as low voltage (up to 1000 V) or as medium voltage with the use of transformers. MNS is ABB s range of low-voltage switchgear and is characterized by high performance, high safety and easy maintenance. System Pro E power is ABB s enclosure system for the main power distribution system. Robust, safe and reliable, it includes several innovations to reduce assembly time. Arc protection Insulation monitor At sea, special attention must be paid to the safety of electric power systems. Mechanical (enclosures) and current-based protection (breakers) provide only basic protection. To save lives and reduce damage during arc fault events (ie, short-circuits passing through the air) enhanced protection is normally needed for ships and marine vessels. ABB has various solutions that reduce risk and provide different protection levels, for both medium-voltage and low-voltage applications. Solutions include, for example, Arc Guard System (TVOC-2) and the ultrafast earthing switch (UFES) that can both be added to the switchgear. Power systems on ships are of the insulated type. All unearthed systems must have monitoring of the system insulation to earth (ground) and alarms for earth faults or reduced insulation levels. ABB s insulation monitor is part of the CM range of monitoring relays. Molded-case circuit breakers (MCCBs) Transfer switches ABB s Tmax moulded-case circuit breakers meet the marine requirements of high performance, safety and reliability.

The products are registered in main marine registers (e.g. DNV, Lloyd, RINA, ABS and Bureau Veritas). An internal arc fault UFES is the most serious fault within a switchgear system, associated with extremely high thermal and mechanical stresses. The UFES offers arc flash mitigation in less than 4 ms reaching the highest possible level of arc flash protection for personnel and equipment. It furthermore secures the power supply and minimizes production outages. The UFES system is fully compatible to ABB arc protection system REA and Arc Guard System (TVOC-2). When planning or modifying electrical systems very high short-circuit fault levels are common problems in high power low- and medium-voltage systems. Those short-circuit faults can lead to severe damage of the installed electrical equipment. Reducing the fault level not only protects the electrical installation but also reduces the potential risk for the surrounding environment. The world s fastest current limiting and switching devices, I s -limiter and FC-Protector, are capable of detecting and limiting a short-circuit current during the first current rise, i.e. in less than a millisecond. It can be applied in early system design stages or in existing systems to reduce capital costs and/or to improve power supply availability.
