Binding radius has to be observed, and furthermore
binding radius for cables used for resilient installed
engines must be observed.
Earth cable connection
It is important to establish an electrical connecting
across the rubber dampers. The earth cable must
be installed as a connection between alternator and
ship hull for marine operation, and as a connection
between alternator and foundation for stationary
operation.
For stationary operation, the Contractor must
ensure that the foundation is grounded according to
local legislation.
Engine, base frame and alternator have internal
metallic contact to ensure earth connection. The
size of the earth cable is to be calculated on the
basis of output and safety conditions in each spe-
cific case; or must as a minimum have the same
size as the main cables.
