ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The generators each supply separate switchboards
that serve as the central control points for the PHM's
electrical distribution system. A bus tie between the
main switchboard busses allows the generators to
supply the ship's systems either individually, in the
split-plant mode, or in the parallel mode. There are two
switchboards used for power distribution: (1) the main
deck switchboard and (2) the platform deck
switchboard.
Main Deck Switchboard
The main deck switchboard (1S) is shown in figure
6-35. The main deck switchboard interfaces electrically
with the 450-V ac, 400-Hz, 3-phase power output of
generator No. 1 and shore power receptacle No. 1.
As shown in figure 6-35 the enclosure for this
