	Anyone know what this means? I'm working on a project for electrical shipboard design and was just hit with this. It appears to have something to do with motor effeciency and this is an IEC type project. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Jim __________________ Thank you for your help - By far the best info site!

	Never heard of it - but I did find this - seems ABS is some kind of approvals board . __________________ "Love justice, you who rule the world" - Dante Alighieri

	Thank you for your very prompt answer. I do a lot of work with the American Bureau of Shipping with shipboard electrical submittals and am in fact aware of "type" approvals. The reason for concern was the motor effeciency rating compared to shaft horse power. Big difference! Thanks, Jim __________________ Thank you for your help - By far the best info site!

	Yes it is American Bureau of Shipping and ABS qualification is common for most components for shipboard usage. Contact your motor manufacturer and they can tell you what models they have that are ABS qualified. Also the ABS requirements are typically quality related, not just efficiency.

	Thanks Dan however the table that was sent to me showed a tremendous between rated hp and shaft hp. __________________ Thank you for your help - By far the best info site!

	ABS is the American Bureau of Ships. They are concerned with any number of things dealing with seaworhyness and insurability. Check with them.

	Marine duty motors generators differe from those made for application on land.These motors have to conform to certain extra specialities particulary bearings, Body etc should be able withstand the ships roll etc.The enclosure has IP65 protectionnow adaysThese are tested and approved by authorities like ABS,Loyds,DNV ETC. __________________ To avoid crticism do nothing,say nothing,be nothing
