A turning propeller is electrically insulated from the hull by lubricating oil film in bearings Electrical potential is generated between the shaft and the hull  As a result the cathodic protection of the ship will not protect the propeller Electrical potential can cause currents in the bearigngs resulting in pitting of the bearing surfaces Problems can be avoide if the shaft is earthed with a propeller shaft slip ring This shaft earthing assembly comprises a pair of high silver content\graphite compound brushes mounted in a balanced brush holder, running on a copper slip ring with solid silver track
