ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:

TURBINE MARINE has taken advantage of the 300 amp Turbine starter / generator to supply electric power to all its electrical components in the vessel. However it has been proven that the other aviation electrical components that originate with T 53 Turbine are not reliable in the marine environment, therefore, TURBINE MARINE has developed its own environmentally sealed digital voltage regulator and components suited for the marine environment. The Turbine generator supplies 24 volts to the start batteries, water pumps, power steering motor and battery chargers and all other 24 V systems on the vessel. We also use 12 V battery banks that are charged with a 24 V to 12 V charging system for the low voltage systems on board; gauges, lights, stereo etc. Our digital voltage regulators allow you to check your charging rate and condition of your batteries with great accuracy. This is very important, as good batteries are vital for proper starting and operations of all systems on board the vessel. We only use 100% maintenance free, dry cell technology batteries in our installation.

STEERING SYSTEM:

TURBINE MARINE has developed its own electric over hydraulic power steering system that is powered by the Turbine’s generator. After the Turbine has started, the starter / generator is switched from start mode to charging mode. At this point, it automatically activates the electric power steering system that runs at a constant RPM which in return gives you a smooth, pulsation free operation at any given vessel speed. The steering system is linked to both engines charging system, so whether you are running one or two engines, the system works properly. The electric power steering motor is environmentally sealed. It also has a built-in fan for cooling and is designed for 10,000+ hrs of operation.
