1 General

1.1 Guidelines for electrical materials

1.1.1 General
The applied electro technical materials must comply with the requirements of the demarcation, drawings, classification and Damen.

If the information is insufficient, Damen should be informed of this.

1.1.2 Design and construction

• All materials, installations, parts and working methods must be suitable for application on ships.
• Particular attention should be given to excellent operational reliability, high insulation safety and quick fault detection capabilities.
• All nautical equipment with metal housing should be earthed.
• All nautical and/ or electrical equipment containing metal parts (for example metal housing) should be earthed.
• On aluminium ships/deckhouses, all equipment should be earthed to a bonding strip.
• The operation of the equipment and taking readings from the measuring devices should be as easy as possible. All control,
signalling and reading instrumentation must be fitted with nameplates. The same also applies to all components in switchboard
cabinets etc.
• All text and instruction plates, nameplates and stickers (stickers in the cabinets only!) should be written in the requested language.
In situations involving the supply of materials with text/instruction plates in a different language, we reserve the right to have the
plates replaced at the expense of the installer.
• Use for all text the typeface "Avenir".
• The plates may be attached using nylon tacks only.
• Unless otherwise specified, the nameplates will be of Resopal or Gravopoly manufacture (normal: white-black-white; for warnings:
red-white-red).
• Materials that are exposed to the elements should be resistant to seawater and UV radiation.
• All fastening materials that are exposed to the elements (nuts, bolts etc.) must at least be of stainless steel quality A4.
• Fastening material larger than M12 (to be supplied by the yard) must be specified to the yard.
• Whenever possible, the various components of the electrical installation should be of the manufacture indicated on the list “standard
electrical components”.
• All equipment/components that are not specified in the E-handbook or the contract specifications should be proposed in advance
for approval.
• All equipment at very damp locations, or which is either temporarily or permanently exposed to weather conditions, must be fitted
with a waterproof covering (min. IP65). The equipment at other locations (inside) should be at least drip-proof (min. IP23).
• Direct current coils (brake coils, stop coils etc.) must always be fitted with a choke diode.
• When installing cables and socket outlets, single walls should be avoided as much as possible in connection with keeping the
cables out of sight.
• If sockets are installed above the sink, they have to be always 25 cm above the sink.
• Accessibility of built-in E-components is to be guaranteed by applying entry hatches and manageable pieces in the black dashboard
panels.
• Aluminium vessels (HSNC) are to be provided with a galvanic separator by the E-installer:
• An isolating transformer in aid of the galvanic separation of shore and ship.
• A bonding system, on which the null and earth of the “AC-network” are applied, so stray voltages will be directly led to the
anodes.
• Aluminium vessels (HSNC) are to be provided with a complete working system for cathodic protection, before launch.

1.1.3 Networks
• 24V DC network:
All poles of the must be fully insulated from the earth, with the exception of the earth fault measurement.
Diodes should be placed in the 24VDC panel, to reduce the voltage to 25V.
The ships network will be fed by two sources; first via a rectifier and secondly via the ships network battery, which is fed by the
battery charger. The battery should be able to take over the ship's network without a voltage drop.
• AC network:
In 3-wire AC networks, all phases must be fully insulated from the earth, except the earth fault measurement.
In 4-wire AC networks, all phases must be fully insulated from the earth, except the earth fault measurement; or the neutral point
of the generator must be earthed using a separator. In this case, the earth fault measurement must not be applied.
• Start network:
The start network feeds the start network, including the electronic engine control. If the engines are controlled via electronic engine
control, the engine supplier must also supply a service free backup battery.

-Electrical installations | 2-
 Handbook 59

The backup battery must be separated from the control network with a diode, and be fed by the starting battery. In case of a voltage
drop, the electronic engine control network shall not fail

1.1.4 Note
The ships network may not feed the engine control, because when switching with broken starting batteries from the starting to the ship's
network, there will not be any power left for the electronic engine control.

1.2 Generator sets

1.2.1 General
• The generators larger than 150kVA should be equipped with PTC thermistors in the stator winding, to alert the occurrence of a
temperature overload, including the accompanying relay that is built into the switchboard.
• They should also be equipped with stand-by heating.
• In case of ships > 22 meter, there is to be provision for automatic starting and connecting to the main switchboard of the standby
set and automatic sequential restarting of essential services, on loss of power.
• The generators should be drip-proof and equipped with an axially driven cooling air fan (min. IP23).
• The insulating materials used should at least conform to insulation class B.

1.3 Batteries

1.3.1 Starting batteries

The starting batteries should preferably be located as close as possible to the engines they are to start.

1.3.2 Lighting batteries

• The batteries used for the emergency lighting, alarms etc. should be located outside the engine room, if possible.
• The capacity of the general battery should at least equal that of the starting batteries, if these are installed.

1.3.3 Batteries for emergency and radio installation

• The emergency batteries and associated equipment should, in principle, be positioned outside the engine room, at as a high a
location as possible.
• The battery charger for the emergency batteries must be kept near to the storage location of the emergency batteries.

1.3.4 Battery change-over switches

If changeover of the batteries is required, this should occur using knife switches.

1.3.5 Battery acid

The batteries in ships that are destined for tropical waters should be filled with tropical acid, for colder areas the normal acid must be
used.

-Electrical installations | 3-
 Handbook 59

1.3.6 Battery chargers

The battery chargers should be equipped with a main switch, an ampmeter, a voltmeter, a current-limiting voltage regulator and a fault
indicator.

1.3.7 Battery charger for 24VDC system

• To power the 24VDC consumers and the navigational lighting, the 24VDC supply is provided by a 2 or 3 phase transformer/rectifier
with a secondary output of 24VDC-80A and a maximum ripple of 5%. This should be discussed with the supplier of sensitive
equipment.
• This transformer / rectifier is connected in parallel with the lighting batteries, which are charged by a battery charger or an engine-
driven alternator. Care must be taken here to ensure that the voltage of the battery charger is lower than the voltage supplied by
the transformer / rectifier, which is fed by 3-phase AC.
• In the event of a blackout in the 3-phase AC system, the lighting batteries must automatically supply the 24VDC network.
• A 24VDC load balance is to be drawn up by the E-installer.
• When a vessel's sailing area is in the tropics with an average temperature of 40°C or more, the danger will start to de-rate. A larger
changer might be the solution. But a harbor tug has an average sailing time of only 20% of the time; the ER-temperature will lower
in the time the vessel is berthed. This means the charger will have a lover de-rating.

1.4 Cable work

1.4.1 General
• Where possible, the installation of cables should be permanent.
• The core cross-section of the power cables for distribution panels etc. must be at least 4mm². A core cross-section of at least
2.5mm² is required for all cables for essential circuits, motors and other power consumers, 24VDC lighting, socket outlets and for
the power supplies of special installations etc. For the remaining cables the core cross-section is determined by the regulations.
• The wiring in electronic components must comply with manufacturers instructions.
• The cables on open decks, under the engine room floors and at locations, which are susceptible to mechanical damage, should
be enclosed within galvanised steel gas pipes, thick-walled sleeves or all-round protective, unperforated galvanised steel cable
trays. All enclosed cable casings must be equipped with drain holes.
• All cable trays etc. should be mounted free from the deck and walls with the aid of brackets, so that painting is possible without
the need for disassembly.
• Cables should be fastened to the cable trays with plastic cable ties; a white approved type for inside applications, and a black
approved type for cables that are exposed to the elements.

-Electrical installations | 4-
 Handbook 59

• Cable transits in decks that are exposed to the elements should be of a design that includes a gooseneck (drawing no.
599900-420-600 up to and including 605), in consultation with Damen.
• Smaller vessels, up to and including STu1906, should be fitted with a plastic mast box at the base (drawing no. 599900-158-600);
a steel box with MCT cable transits (drawing no. 599900-158-601 & 602) is to be applied on larger ships.
• Metal parts in M(ulti) C(able) T(ransit)'s in decks and walls, which are exposed to the elements are to be executed in a corrosion
resistant material (Stainless Steel or Aluminium).

1.4.3 Cables
• The manufacturer's instructions for cables, which connect fine electronic devices, such as the nautical instrumentation and
communication equipment, must be followed, if necessary, in consultation with the engineering department.
• There should be a distance of at least 10cm between cables and heating pipes, and cables must be free from the temperature
influence of exhaust gases.
• The wiring in cabinets, switchboards etc. should have a flexible core that is surrounded by galvanised polythene insulation and a
polyvinyl chloride sheath or equivalent covering.
• The cores must be fitted with crimp terminals that are fastened with secured, cadmium-plated steel bolts. Cable clamps that belong
to different circuits should be separated by extra distance or by raised partitions.
• Depending on the kinetic frequency and amplitude, spring-mounted electrical equipment is to be connected, either in permanent
installation with sufficient room for expansion, or with connecting boxes and protected flexible cables. All mobile and semi-
permanent equipment must be connected using flexible cables. The flexible cables should be extremely pliable, with high-quality
rubber insulation and polychloroprene (neoprene) covering.
• Battery cables should be laid along cable trays and/or strips and secured. Under engine room floors and at heights of a minimum
of 25cm above the engine room floor, the battery cables should be laid along and fastened to the underside of the strip, or an
upside-down channel.

• Cable work in HSNC vessels is to be executed in lightweight cables. Helkama-LKM-HF or equal.
• Due to unforeseen cable work, far completed hulls are to be equipped with a cable pipe.
• The installer must inform the yard of the length of special cable that is to be supplied by the yard (see delivery demarcation).
• The E-installer will supply and fit any cable glands, adapter rings or caps for all equipment (including individual partition and deck
transits), which have not been supplied or fitted in the equipment, even when yard deliveries are involved. N.B. the yard is
responsible for finish-welding the transits.
• For O&T vessels, spare cables must be foreseen from the bridge to the essential systems.
• Attention must be paid to the correct shielding for the cable connections in the electricity boxes.

1.4.4 Marking

locks with keys).
• In front of the main switchboard an emergency lighting fixture or a lighting fixture on an emergency group must be fitted.
• In the vicinity of the main switchboard one or two socket outlets are to be fitted for general use.
1.5.1.2 Construction
• All equipment located in the switchboards must be vibration-proof and protected against overload. All plug connections should
provide good quality clamping. Where possible, the equipment should be mounted on DIN rail.
• The rail systems should be of pure copper, with the connections made using secured steel bolts. The rails must be supported in
such a way that the mechanical stiffness is sufficient to withstand the forces resulting from the motion of the vessel, vibrations and
short-circuit currents. The rails should be coded using letter punches.
• Anti-condensation heating elements should be fitted in switchboards larger than 150kVA, whereby the terminals are well protected
and marked with a voltage indicator.
• Anti-condensation heating elements should be fitted in panels and connection boxes that are exposed to the elements.
• Ships with an AC and a facility for applying the general service pump as a cooling water pump must be equipped with a switch
on/in the main switchboard that enables the interlock of the AC cooling water pump to be connected.
• PLC and / or computer controls may only be used after consult with Damen.
• If PLC controls are used then Damen and the client should have a programmed and tested EEPROM. Also the supplier should
demonstrate the replacing of the EEPROM.
• When PLC controls are used the instruction books must clearly show how the program can be replaced.
• The two above-mentioned points do not apply if the supplier provides the PLC controls with a good subsequent delivery.
• Inside temperatures of alarm / switch boards, c.c.p. control unit, etc. in the engine room are not to be warmer than 55º. Otherwise
a adequate ventilation or cool unit has to be installed.
1.5.1.3 Instrumentation
• The precision of the measuring instruments should be class 1.5. For the measurement of currents in excess of 20A, shunts or
current transformers should be used. Each switch panel should contain a plasticised wiring diagram or a wiring diagram in a plastic
sleeve, located on the inside of the door or front panel.
• The scale length of indication instruments that are mounted in switchboards must be at least 130mm. Indication instruments, which
need to be read quickly, should preferably have a 25-division scale, with the most common values indicated with a red dot.
• The minimum dimensions of indication instruments are 96x96mm for main switchboards and 72x72mm for other switchboards.
• The instruments should be shockproof and tropic-proof, and calibrated in the mounted position.
1.5.1.4 Accessoires

1.5.1.5 Lay-out
• All components located within the switchboards should be easily accessible, to enable inspection and replacement when
necessary.
• The input power fields should be centrally located, with the output power fields on either side.
• If a switchboard is arranged in panels, the individual panels must be separated from each other in such a way that operations can
be carried out safely on each panel.
• Cables should be mounted in cable ducts until they reach (the vicinity of) the terminals and/or terminal strips.

-Electrical installations | 6-
 Handbook 59

• Cables, which come from open decks, should be led into the switchboard from the underside, and cut as low as possible. If it is
not possible to lead the cable in from below, it should be led in from above, through the switchboard, to the underside and also
cut there. This is to prevent capillary action, so that no water enters the switchboard.
• Duplicate installations should be spread over rail systems as much as possible (not positioned next to each other), so that in the
event of a short circuit, one of the instruments remains operational. For example, a bilge pump.
1.5.1.6 Location
• The main switchboard is placed in the switchboard room.
• Switchboards may never be located underneath ventilation openings or pipe couplings. Should this be unavoidable, however, the
switchboard must be protected in such a way, e.g. with thin steel plating, that it is impossible for fluids to penetrate the switchboard.

1.8 Alarm system

1.8.1 General
Revolving warning lights to signal an alarm should be of the following colour:

system Damen standard SBG1) standard

engine room alarm red white / green
CO2 alarm blue red
Intercom (see text below) orange orange or white
ad 1) See-Berufsgenossenschaft

Intercom alarm system:

In case of more than one intercom, identification for the warning signals should be as followed:
• Alarm for the 'telephone intercom'; this is to be indicated by the orange (or white in case of SBG) alarm light in combination with
"a horn symbol" which lights up in case of alarm.
• Alarm for the 'talk-back' (emergency) intercom; this should be indicated by the orange (or white in case of SBG) alarm light in
combination with a "speaker symbol" which lights up in case of alarm.

These signals must be part of the ‘light column’ in the engine room.

Both alarms are indicated with the same sound indicator.

In the event of more than 3 alarm signals, revolving warning lights should be applied in combination with an alarm signal column, whereby
the revolving warning lights have the following colours:
• Combination alarm = orange
• CO2 alarm = blue (or red in case of SBG)

When an alarm signal column is used, the CO2 alarm must always be of independent construction, i.e. with a separate blue revolving
warning light and a separate horn.

Alarm system main engines HSNC vessels:

The alarm system of the main engines is to be bridged by means of an “alarm lock” system in case of not running main engines. Engine
supplier and E-installer are to provide the facilities hereto.

Fire alarm:
All doors to be fitted with magnetic preventer and quick release button connected tot the fire-alarm.

1.8.2 Alarm system for fuel overflow

• The preferred location of the alarm that signals an overflow of the fuel tanks, the bunker alarm, is at the entrance of the deckhouse
on the rear deck (preferably in a recess), just inside the door (to prevent influence from weather conditions).
• If the bunker connection is not within earshot and/or the line of sight of the alarm, then (and only then) this alarm may be positioned
near to the bunker connection, preferably under a fixed construction element.

1.11 Nautical equipment

1.11.1 Preventive measures

To avoid problems of external radiation from the SSB antenna the following preventive measures must be taken:
• The SSB transmitter should be thoroughly earthed to the steel ships structure.
• The antenna and coupler should be positioned outside the rope-guard, at the top of the mast when possible.
• The coupler, mast, rope-guard and other nautical installations that are not welded on should be earthed using an earth cable with
cross-sectional area of 35mm2.
• The E-installer will supply the earth cable (35mm2) and earth the aforementioned constructions.
• On the instruction of the E-installer, Damen will carry out the nautical engineering work (grinding, drilling, tapping, lips on steel
ceiling sections etc.).
• The antenna and coupler should be located as far away from other antennas as possible.
• Screened cables should be used for the lighting units in the mast.
• All cables for the Autopilot installation must also be screened.
• An RG213 that is not welded on or triax should be used for the coax cable between the coupler and transmitter.
• Copper tubes used for the water spray units must be earthed with an earth cable of at least 2.5mm2 as described in point 3.
• Dampa ceiling must also be earthed with an earth cable of at least 2.5mm2 as described in point 3.
• Solenoids for air horns are to be mounted at a well accessible place (behind the dashboard for example and not behind a ceiling).
• All electrical equipment, sink units, ceilings etc. that are isolated from the construction, are to be earthed by the electrician.
• On vessels built in aluminium (in part or in total), care must be taken to avoid the risk of SSB-signal propagation to other cables.
The SSB-coupler earth cable must be kept as short as possible by connecting it to te nearby structure. This only after consultation
with the supplier. If approved, the coupler is to be earthed with a thin, wide copper strip, fitted with a steel end (delivered by the
nautical equipments supplier). On a steel structure, this end must be welded to the steel structure. On a aluminium structure, this
steel end must be welded to a piece of Triplate, which is welded on the aluminium structure. Bolted connections are to be avoided
due to risk of corrosion and increased resistance.

Appendix I includes a table, which details the associated actions and responsibilities.

 Handbook 59

1.11.2 Testing for external radiation from the SSB-antenna

• In addition to the normal commissioning procedures as described in the installation manual, it is also necessary to test whether
external radiation occurs during transmission with the SSB.
• Tests need to be carried out for all bands within the SSB bandwidth (4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 22MHz) to find out if the normal operation
of the other equipment is affected by external radiation. This can be done using a signal generator or by selecting a frequency at
both the top and bottom of the bandwidth and then whistling loudly through the microphone at that frequency.
• If other bands, outside the maritime, are used on request, these must also be tested.
• The protocol for commissioning the SSB is given in appendix I.

1.12 Electrical equipment

Welding set:
When purchasing welding sets, a voltage reduction relay must be included in the equipment as standard.

1.13 Electrical anti-fouling system for boxcoolers

• Appendix I "Protocols" contains a "checklist", which must be filled in, that is used to check the operation of the anti-fouling system
for box coolers.
• The Production Co-ordinators are responsible for seeing to it that this list is filled in by the E-installer.

1.14 Steering gear installation / autopilot

In case of more than one steering gear pump, the autopilot system should be designed to operate on all independent pumps.

1.15 Propulsion installation

• In case of an propulsion installation and use of a MCD computer the cables of the propulsion electronics and MCD must be
separated as good as possible to prevent intervention of these cables
• To avoid the use of long cables the MCD computer should be installed near the control unit of the propulsion installation
• Both the control unit and the MCD computer must be placed below main deck on a cool, ventilated place in consultation with the
suppliers

2 Load balance

2.1 General
When starting additional equipment electronically (equipment that is not required for normal sailing mode), take in account that this
occurs above the normal network load (during sailing mode).

2.1.1 E-balance conditions

For every vessel with a power transmission system, an E-load balance must be created, unless only a few consumers are involved.

An E-load balance should be created for the essential service conditions, such as:
• Sailing condition
This balance should include all consumers, which are required to keep a vessel in sailing mode and ensure its manoeuvrability
under normal conditions.
• Working condition
This balance should include all consumers which are required to keep a vessel in sailing mode and ensure its manoeuvrability
under working conditions, e.g. when extinguishing fires, working with cranes etc.
• Emergency condition
This balance should include all consumers which are required to keep a vessel in sailing mode and ensure its manoeuvrability
under normal conditions + the largest emergency consumers (e.g. emergency cooling water pump, internal fire-fighting pump etc.).
• Harbour condition (stationary)
This balance should include all consumers which are necessary to keep a vessel in stand-by mode while it is moored. This condition
also determines the power requirement of the shore connection, if applicable. See also 2.3.

O&T vessels with an emergency / harbour generator set need a separate condition to determine the shore power supply.

2.1.2 Structure of an E-balance

Refer to the example. This is available in Excel-format on request:
• For each operating condition, the 'apparent' loads are added to obtain the "Average ship load", which represents the load on the
generator for the operating condition in question.
• The "Average load factor" is also calculated for those operating conditions, which indicates the load factor of the generator set(s).
• The result of this indicates whether the generator set(s) will be overloaded or underloaded.
• Underloading occurs at a "Generator average load factor" of < 0.3 (fouling can occur in the driving motor at low loads). Overloading
becomes a danger at a "Generator average load factor" of > 0.75-0.8.
• To determine whether an overload will occur, the "Peak load" on the generator is calculated.
• This is obtained by subtracting the load of the largest consumer from the "Average ship-load", whereby the "Installed power" is
added twice.
• If the "Calculated peak load" in this situation is lower than the "Max. allowable peak load", the installation is suitable.

2.1.3 Determination of starting method

• Direct on line (D.O.L.)
This method is appropriate for small consumers, whereby the starting requirement of 6-7 times the nominal power is insignificant
in comparison with the generator’s power.
• Star-delta starter
Use this method for larger consumers, which require up to ± 25% of the generator power.
• Soft starter / frequency regulator
Applicable when the starting current of twice the nominal value is not permissible, i.e. when 25–100% of the generator power is
required. In this instance, the largest power in the E-balance is not added.

2.1.4 Determination of generator power

The result of the E-load balance is the required power that the generator must be able to supply at max. 100% load. Therefore, the
result may not lie in the generator’s overload region.

Example can be found at:

• E-balance T&W
• E-balance HSNC and O&T

2.3 Determining the required power of the shore connection for certain standard ship ranges

2.3.1 General
When determining the required power of the shore supply, it is not necessary to take the start-up of the largest consumer into account,
since slow fuses are used in the fuse box, which are capable of withstanding an overload for a certain time.

2.3.2 Power and construction of the shore connection (≤ STu1906)

The power of the shore connection for vessels ≤ STu1906, which do not have a generator set, is determined by the installed battery
charger in combination with the shore connection. This is usually 1kW. In this instance, the shore connection consists of a fuse box with
10A fuses (slow) and a cable with plugs and sockets. The voltage and frequency are dependent on the wishes of the customer and the
local conditions.

If the vessel has a generator set, the shore connection will supply the main switchboard via fuses. In this instance, the installed
consumers determine the types of fuses.

2.3.3 Power and construction of the shore connection (≥ STu2207)

The power of the shore connection for vessels ≥ STu2207 up to and including STu3300L is determined by the installed consumers (incl.
installed options) which must be operational when the ship is connected to the shore power supply.

752 freezer / refrigerator 1.50 0.30 0.45
770 washing machine 7.50 0.10 0.75
average load 25.30
largest consumer (16kW) 4.8
total excl. largest consumer 20.50

In this example, the shore power supply consists of a fuse box with slow, 3-phase 63A fuses / cut-outs + zero, a cable with 4-cores with
earth wire, plugs and sockets.

The voltage and frequency are equivalent to the installed system.

The above calculations can be applied to all types of vessels, as long as the recommended service factors are used.
