Newman, Jonathan ; Miller, H.A.
Abstract :
A description is given of key areas of currently designed electrical systems for modern commercial submersibles. Included are the electrical distribution, main power, emergency power, propulsion, navigation, communications, and instrumentation systems. Consideration is also given to the application of independent failure analysis to key areas. Relating to this will be a brief discussion of design considerations for electrical systems operating in critical environmental spaces within the submersible. A recently delivered submersible is used as the center of discussion.
