The rotating propeller shaft of the ship is electrically insulated from the hull by the use of a lubricating oil film within metal bearings or non-metal bearing materials. A potential is formed between the propeller and the hull, resulting in a current that returns to the hull through the gearbox. In this situation, a large current flows through the bearings and gearbox, causing these components to suffer from pitting and damaging the bearings, gearbox, and shaft. Schunk's grounding system prevents these phenomena.

Electromagnetic static electricity, system harmonics, and modern power electronics used in combination with motors and generators can potentially cause unwanted high-frequency currents. These currents often wander in search of a path to ground and circulate throughout the system. The problems caused by these currents can lead to issues such as: ● Electromigration of components like bearings and shafts ● System communication noise ● Damage to large-scale system electrical circuits ● Ground loop feedback Schunk Carbon's grounding solutions will solve your problems!
