Summary:The aim of this paper is to assess the level of harmonics on a diamond mining ship in accordance with the NRS048 standards. The investigation was done on a DeBeers mining vessel, Debmar Pacific. After the measurements were obtained simulations of the ship's electrical system were carried out using DIgSILENT. The results of the simulation indicated the effectiveness of some proposed mitigation equipment in reducing the generated harmonics to acceptable levels.
