    The document discusses safety features of steering gear and conditions for paralleling alternators. Steering gear has overload safety that uses an overload alarm set to trigger at twice normal running current instead of overcurrent protection. When paralleling alternators, their terminal voltages and frequencies must be approximately equal, and for 3-phase alternators the phase sequences must also match.

    What is special about Steering gear Overload safety?

    Short Circuit protection and were appropriate-single phase protection is fitted. In


    addition instead of over current protection an Overload alarm is fitted set to
    operate at not less than twice normal running current. ALSO ASK YOUR SHIP E/O FOR
    INFORMATION.

    3. Explain the condition for Paralleling of Alternators?


    The following conditions must be fulfilled for proper synchronizing of
    alternators. The terminal voltage of the incoming machine must be approximately
    equal to bus-bar voltage. The frequency of the incoming machine must be equal to
    that of the bus-bar. In the case of 3-phase alternators an additional requirement
    is that
