Process Transmitters
Two simple questions:
How do we best represent variable ‘process’ values on board a superyacht?
And how to get that signal safely from one end of the vessel to the other?
Electrical circuits
Protecting contacts from arching
Why do relay and other switching contacts seem to wear out faster than expected? This basic problem has an explanation that can often be reduced down to one word – inductance.
Explain RMS (Root Mean Squared)
I’ve noticed that the common term ‘RMS’ causes confusion, fear and doubt in some superyacht engineers, when talking about electrical measurements, so we’re taking a look in more detail.
Keeping water out of electrical circuits on board
Electrical conductors and enclosures containing electrical and electronic equipment need to prevent water from entering and affecting operation and possibly breaking down insulation.
