MAN B&W 5.17
A cable with a cross <strong>section</strong> not less than 45 mm²
<strong>is</strong> used for cabling the shaftline earthing device to
the hull. The length of the cable to the hull should
be as short as possible.
Monitoring equipment should have a 4-20 mA
signal for alarm and a two range mV-meter with
a switch for changing range. Primary range from
0 mV to 50 -150 mV DC, and secondary range
from 0 mV to 300-1500 mV DC.

When the shaftline earthing device <strong>is</strong> working
correctly, the electrical potential will normally be
within the range of 10-50 mV DC. The alarm setpoints
should be 5 mV for a low alarm and 80 mV
for a high alarm. The alarm signals with an alarm
delay of 30 seconds and an alarm cut-off, when
the engine <strong>is</strong> stopped, must be connected to the
alarm system.
