🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter J requirements for emergency power systems • Specific wording in 46 CFR about emergency diesel engine starting systems • How many consecutive starts the starting arrangement must be capable of providing

💭 Think About

• Look up the exact 46 CFR Subchapter J section that discusses emergency diesel-driven generators or fire pumps and read the requirement for starting capability. • Ask yourself whether the regulation is expecting just a few attempts or a more conservative number to ensure starting reliability in an emergency. • Compare the listed numbers (3, 6, 9, 12) with what you’d reasonably expect for a critical system that must start even under less-than-ideal conditions.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact CFR section that governs emergency diesel starting arrangements in Subchapter J, not a similar-sounding section from another subchapter. • Confirm that the requirement is stated as "consecutive starts" and not total starts over some time period. • Make sure you are reading the requirement for emergency diesel engines (e.g., emergency generator or fire pump), not for main propulsion engines.
