Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the 10-year rebuild project *Brupeg* prepares the vessel for a 13-hour, 80-mile sea trial from Bundaberg to Gladstone, Australia.0:16 To ensure reliability for future coastal training with the Australian Navy Cadets, the team overhauls the electrical system after discovering melted wiring caused by a ground fault.14:50 The failure occurred when an oil sensor malfunctioned, grounding the engine and forcing starter current through thin sensor cables.15:01 The team replaces the damaged wiring with a robust loom, installs positive and negative fuses on all lines, and upgrades to more durable sensors.15:07 They also remove redundant analog gauges in favor of a digital monitoring system and integrate a Victron power setup.12:09 The engine room modifications include installing waterproof, resin-sealed plugs and hard conduit for cable protection.22:08 The crew also tests the alternator’s thermal performance under load and verifies fuel pressure monitoring systems.26:17 These electrical and sensor upgrades prevent future ground-path failures and improve system monitoring reliability for long-distance passages.
