[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 353132, member: 7"] most marine systems of that sort of size work similar to a car, ie, neutral is earthed to the chassis/hull tbh, its fairly specialised stuff, and a long time since Ive had anything to do with it, you need to ascertain if its fuse protected or continual service, ie, on a rig, or RN ship when a fault occurs there will not normally be a fuse to blow, but a light to illuminate to show a fault, why? well, you wouldnt want a gun platform on a destroyer to stop working in the middle of a battle, or a pump going down on a rig could have devastating consequences.
