A+B PAGA System
An A+B PAGA system is a type of communication system used in ships, offshore platforms, and other similar facilities.
This system is designed to provide a highly reliable means of communication in an emergency situation by having a fully duplicated system. The duplicated PA/GA package is arranged such that there is no possibility of common mode failure and the design obviates cross transference of possible fault conditions from one sub-system to the remaining working sub-sys tem.
The above system uses DNH explosion proof speakers
Features of an A+B PAGA System
The system typically consists of:
The "A" system and the "B" system are both operational under normal circumstances. Each area in the vessel or plant need to be served from speakers connected to both "A" and "B" systems.
If the primary "A" system fails, the "B" system will provide acoustic coverage, ensuring that important information and instructions can still be communicated to all personnel. This helps to ensure that everyone is aware of the situation and can respond appropriately in an emergency.
Each compartment is fitted with loudspeakers assigned separately to A and B PA/GA sub-systems. In areas where ambient noise
exceeds 84 dBA the A and B flashing beacons should be fitted. The two
sub-systems are strictly segregated with central panels remotely located from
each other. Cables extending from the panels to field devices follow separate routes
utilising differing transits, cable race ways, racking and tray work, additionally all cables are mechanically protected.
