An electric propulsion drive system in which the propulsion generator only supplies power to the propulsion motor is referred to as what type of system?

Correct Answer: Option A — a dedicated system

A dedicated system is one where the propulsion generator is electrically isolated from the ship's service distribution system. The generator output is routed exclusively to the propulsion motor, ensuring that propulsion loads do not interfere with or cause voltage fluctuations for critical shipboard services, as defined in marine electrical distribution standards.
