Diesel alternators are the main source of electric power on board ships. Automation for starting, stopping and protection of DAs is vital for uninterrupted provision of power for ships. Symtronics specializes in designing and installing application-specific DA controls for various classes of ships. DA monitoring systems include sensors for pressure, temperature, speed, level etc, the electronic logic and sequencing hardware and the local and remote indicating instrumentation. Newer generations of systems are microprocessor-based, using serial bus communication for simplified cabling and increased reliability. Analogue and digital instrumentation options, self-diagnostics and system redundancies are some of the highlights.
