TAKE-HOME POWER
As mentioned, in the electrical system there are two 750-kw diesel generator sets installed in the engine room. If any emergency “take-home” power is required, either diesel generator can be used to operate a 750-hp wound rotor motor, which is connected to the ship’s propeller, through the reduction gears.
Each diesel generator is sized to furnish adequate power for reactor decay heat removal, lighting, and necessary ship service.
