Using Ohmmeter to find short circuit = Zero reading indicates the short circuit

Multimeter = is used to measure voltage, resistance and current

Transducer = measures pressure and converts pressure in electrical signal

Ammeter = always should be connected in series with a circuit

Voltmeter = Connected in circuit In Parallel, combined with a resistance

Wheatstone bridge = mostly measures resistance

Ideal conditions for taking IR for a motor alternator = Hot after stopping

In one complete cycle of single phase of AC = Voltage is twice at zero

At maximum voltage = Conductor cut the magnetic field at 90 degrees

In one cycle of 3 phase AC = Voltage is 6 times at Peak Value

A Voltmeter measure a variety of voltage values = by connecting a Shunt in series

An Ammeter measure a variety of current values = by connecting a Shunt in parallel

Conventional lead/acid battery electrolyte = Diluted Sulphuric acid

Danger of naked lights in battery locker = the batteries give off highly flammable Hydrogen gas

Specific gravity for fully charged lead/acid battery = 1.28

Size of any electrical conductor = Voltage drop at full load will not exceed 3%

Electrical system “So called – closed insulation” type = the system is totally insulated from the ship’s hull

Earth failure = the system insulation meter will indicate a drop in resistance

The effect of 25 mili-amps electric shock = could be fatal

In 3 phase system, resistor fitted in series with the earth detection lights = provide an easier path for the earth current

Lenz law = states that induced EMF always opposes the change producing it

Fleming law = determinates the direction of induced EMF

Valence electrons = Outer orbiting electrons

Good insulators have in common = Stable atomic structure

Resistance in a wire decrease = when in cross-sectional area of the wire increases

Ships normally use an AC insulated neutral distribution system = because an earth failure on one phase will not cause
protective devices like fuses and circuit breakers to trip

Unit for the Magnetic flux is Weber

A Wheatstone bridge is used to measure an unknown resistance in relation to a Known resistance

Kirchoff’s Voltage Law = states that Sum of the potential differences is egual to the Sum of the E.M.F.s

Kirchoff’s Current Law = states that the Sum of currents arriving at a junction is equal to the sum of the currents leaving
the junction

In series connected resistors = Current remains constant

In parallel connected resistors = Voltage remains constant

Ohm’s law = governs the relationship between potential difference and current

The both Primary and Secondary Windings have independent earth leakage detection = because there is no electrical
connection between the two windings

Advantage of Delta-Star Wound Transformer = is that allows an earthed secondary winding

Power = is the rate of Energy dissipation

Energy = is Capacity to carry out work

Unit of energy = is Joule

Unit for Power = is Watt

TTL = Integrated digital circuits

Normal operation Voltage of a TTL circuit = is 5 Volts

In a single phase full bridge rectifier = there are 4 Diodes

A Zener diode = can be used as an voltage stabilizer

241

If earth fault occurs on insulated distribution system = No fuses will trip, because the system is isolated from the earth

Always supplied from batteries = Is not a requirement for the Navigation light distribution board

In a fluorescent lamp CAPACITOR is used to improve power factor

In incandescent lights, filament is constructed from Tungsten

Fitting too high wattage lamps in flameproof fittings = Danger is to increase in surface heat of fitting

What gases are present in the modern incandescent lamps? = Argon and Nitrogen

Why is the ballast resistor fitted in fluorescent lamps? = Provide high starting voltage, Stabilize current and power and
Preheat the electrodes.

In an incandescent lamp 20% energy is converted to Light

In internal alleyways the light spacing regulation = at 1.5 X alleyway height

For Navigation lighting distribution board = an alternative supply must be available
