the bridge panels which mostly work on 24v dc voltage and
how do we differentiate its wiring from ac wiring?
4)what is a synchronizer and why do we need it compulsory

power?
Answer Posted / rob
1. The earth is connected to the ship's hull.
2. The neutral is isolated in a ship, NOT connected to the hull. Therefore it is necessary to have two earth faults before the protection breaker will open. This is for safety purposes so there is not a blackout (all systems dead) when a earth fault occurs.
3. Question is unclear. Usually there is a dedicated 24VDC distribution system from batteries and charging system.
4. It is needed to parallel the generators during change-over so a blackout is not necessary.
5. Emergency generator must start within 30 sec of blackout.
