Question 520Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) It is an electric drive system where the propulsion motor is installed in a submerged housing capable of swiveling. This is correct because an azipod propulsion system uses an electric motor housed in a submerged, rotatable pod that can swivel to provide thrust in any direction, eliminating the need for a separate rudder. This design provides improved maneuverability and efficiency compared to traditional propeller and shaft arrangements. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the key features of an azipod system, which is the electric motor in a rotatable, submerged housing. Option B describes a controllable-pitch propeller system, option C describes a water jet system, and option D describes a DC motor system, which are different propulsion technologies.
