Question 267Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) 6. According to 46 CFR Subchapter J, Section 111.15-10, emergency diesel engine starting systems are required to have sufficient capacity to provide power for at least 6 consecutive starts without recharging the starting system. This regulation ensures that the emergency diesel engine can be reliably started multiple times in the event of a power failure or other emergency situation. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement of 6 consecutive starts. 3 starts (option A) would not provide enough redundancy, while 9 (option C) and 12 (option D) starts exceed the minimum standard set forth in the regulation.
