Electrical System

The Sea Jewel’s two Cat 3304 gensets are rated for 80 kW each. Each genset is

controlled by a Woodward EGCP‐3 LS and can connect to the ship electrical load via

its generator breaker. The load can also be supplied by shore power when in port.

To synchronize the boat to shore power, a Woodward SPM‐D delivers

synchronization signals to the two EGCP‐3 LS units and closes the breaker when

phase and frequency are matched.

Conclusions

The commissioning of the Sea Jewel was a success, and operation of an EGCP‐3 and SPM‐D illustrated the

adaptability of Woodward controls to any application. By applying the EGCP‐3 LS units to the control of

the Cat gensets and the SPM‐D for synchronizing the shore power, the Sea Jewel now has a reliable

system to begin their chartering business this summer. Woodward would like to thank Sea Jewel Ltd and

Governor Control Systems fortheir time and energy on this project and congratulates them on a great

control system.
