Introduction to Marine Engineering

Subsection 8.3.1 Description

The ship has two General Electric MV7306 propulsion converters, one for each propulsion motor. The converters include the three main components shown in Figure 4.4.11, as well as other supporting components housed in a row of cabinets located in converter rooms 1 and 2, on the 4th deck. The converters operate at extremely dangerous high voltages, so these rooms are normally locked and off-limits to all unauthorized personnel.
