Propeller Shaft Earthing Set
Avoid damage to propulsion machinery and save maintenance costs with this high quality Propeller Shaft Earthing Set. Propeller Shaft Earthing Systems (PSE) are indispensable for seagoing ships all over the world. Our 50 years experience in Propeller Shaft Earthing Systems has resulted in a proven and optimized system recognized by many companies in the shipbuilding industry.
Propeller Shaft Earthing Set
In order to direct the electrical current that flows through the propeller shaft to the hull of the ship, a Propeller Shaft Earthing Set (PSE) contains parts that have a very low electrical resistance. The main component of our Propeller Shaft Earthing Set is a copper slipring with a solid silver inlay. The slipring can be mounted to the propeller shaft with two stainless steel clamping bands and dedicated connectors.
Furthermore, a brush holder is supplied which holds two silver/graphite brushes (80% silver) that run over the silver track of the slipring. The brushholder is connected to the hull of the ship by means of an earthing cable. It has been proven that this set ensures optimal electrical continuity, which reduces total cost of ownership.
In addition to our PSE set a monitoring set can be installed in the engine room to visualize the potential difference between the propeller shaft and the hull of the ship.
