Question 574Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is C) an integrated system. An integrated system is a type of electric propulsion drive system where the propulsion generator supplies power to both the propulsion motor and the ship's service loads. This allows for efficient and coordinated use of the electrical power generated, with the propulsion and ship service loads sharing the same power source. The other options are incorrect because: A) A multi-purpose system is a more general term that does not specifically describe the power distribution between propulsion and ship service loads. B) A dedicated system would have separate power sources for the propulsion motor and ship service loads. D) A composite system is not a standard term used to describe this type of electric propulsion drive configuration.
