Emergency electric supply system
Emergency power systems are installed to protect life and property from the consequences of loss of primary electric power supply. In combat, a ship may lose the function of its boilers, which power the for the can be lost due to downed lines, malfunctions at a sub-station, inclement weather, planned or in extreme cases a -wide failure. Computers, communication networks, and other modern electronic devices need not only power, but also a steady flow of it to continue to operate. This central battery system consists of cell units to make up a 12 or 24 VDC system as well.
