New Effective Methods of Wiring with Mechanical Gear

Abstract

It is the recent tendency that electric capacity of new ships having big power plant such as container ships or automatic operated ships has been increasing gradually, and eventually the quantity of electric cables also tends to increase to a considerable extent. While, such cables should be installed under the circumstances of labour shortage we are facing. In this paper we state below some methods of wiring with mechanical gear, application of wiring method in each compartment and improvement of cable ways and jigs and tools, and we suggest the followings; 1) It is very important to improve cable ways for the wiring. 2) Cables in cargo holds can be wired and led to penetrate bulkheads by converting watertight glands to MCT (multiple cable transit). 3) It is very important to selection wires and to improve rollers in order to avoid twisting of cables. New methods of wiring with mechanical gear are useful not only for effective preparation for the next stage work, and for design improvement of electric cable ways, etc.
