Some ships generate electrical power at 440 V, but then step up this voltage to supply specific electrical equipment. One common example, may be to feed a large bow thruster. Why is this done?
Правильну відповідь:
A large bow thruster will draw very large currents at low voltage. Being typically remote from the generator, significant voltage drops would occur at low voltage.Ваша відповідь:
The shipyard could not purchase a High Voltage generating plant at the time of manufacture, so they used what was available at the time.
