ELECTRICALLY COUPLED  SYSTEM

When the electrical power Remand is low, power from the turbo-generator drives the shaft-generator as a synchronous motor and provides propulsion. As the electrical load increases, the shaft generator takes power from main engine to assist the turbo­ generator. In the event of main engine failure, the shaft generator can be used as an emergency 'takehome' motor supplied by the diesel generator.
