Situation

The engine of a ship drives its propeller blades, so that they move through the water at a high speed. The propeller influences every
phase of the ship‘s behavior – driving, comfort, speed, acceleration, service lifetime of the engine and safety. The torque of the engine is converted into thrust.

Problem

Speed is reduced depending on the driving situation. The propeller acts as a generator in this situation.

Intention

The brake energy generated should be safely and quickly dissipated by an external brake resistor.
