DEF STAN 61-5(PART 4)/2 3.2 Reference in this Part of the Standard to any related document means in any invitation to tender or contract, the edition and all amendments current at the date of such tender or contract unless a specified edition is indicated. 4 Definitions

4.1 For the purpose of this Part of Def Stan 61-5 the following definitions apply in addition to those listed in STANAG 1008. 4.2 Alternative supply. A permanent power supply source from which an equipment can obtain power when the normal supply is not available. The alternative supply is derived from a different distribution point from that which provides the normal supply, and the supply cable follows a route different from the normal supply cable route to minimize the risk of losing both normal and alternative supplies through a single damage incident. NOTE: Change over from normal to alternative supply may be made by an automatic switch with a changeover time in the range 0.3 - 5.0 seconds, or a hand operated changeover switch. 4.3 Converted supply. Any supply, a.c. or d.c., which is derived from the main supply. Conversion is effected by rotating machinery, transformers, or solid state equipment. 4.4 Emergency supply. A power supply obtained by rigging a temporary system of emergency cables connected to fixed and portable plugs and sockets, or a permanently connected power supply system for providing power to essential equipment following failure of the ships main power supply. 4.5 Healthy supply system. A power supply system which under normal operating conditions will ensure that the voltage and frequency at user equipment terminals do not exceed the tolerances detailed in STANAG 1008. 4.6 Main power supply. In a.c. Ships and Nuclear Submarines the 440 V, 60 Hz, 3-phase power supply system or, in d.c. Ships, the 220 V power supply system. In Patrol Submarines the 440 V or 480 V (nominal) battery supply. 4.7 Maintained supply. A no-break supply in which one of the supplies is derived from a battery and is available only for a specified period. The power supply source from which an equipment 4.8 Normal supply. normally obtains power.

DEF STAN 61-5(PART 4)/2 5 User Equipment Requirements 5.1 The main power supply system in a.c. Surface Ships and Nuclear Submarines is 440 V, 60 Hz, 3-phase unearthed. 115 V, 60 HZ iS supplied through transformers for lighting and miscellaneous low power services. A large proportion of the electrical load of a warship can be taken from the ships main power supply, which does not require very close regulation. Equipments which cannot be designed to operate from these supplies for operational reasons will require provision of non standard supplies. It is emphasized that requests for such supplies will be strongly resisted unless it can be demonstrated that significant advantages can be achieved by their use. Equipment designers should consult the relevant MOD(PE) authority at an early stage of the design regarding the availability and characteristics of non-standard supplies. 5.2 Details of user equipment requirements and the characteristics of the main supply of electrical power in HM Surface Ships and Submarines are given in STANAG 1008. 6 Characteristics of Electrical Power Supplies in HM Surface Ships and Submarines 6.1 440 Volt and 115 Volt, 60 Hz power supply characteristics at user equipment terminals 6.1.1 The following supplies are available for general use: (a) 440V, 3-phase, 3 wire, 60Hz. (b) 115 V, 3-phase, 3 wire, 60 Hz (transformed from the 440V, 60 Hz System). 6.1.1.1 The characteristics of these supplies are given in table A (reproduced from STANAG 1008). 6.1.1.2 All tolerances are expressed as a percentage of the nominal voltage or frequency, and are applicable to main supply systems operated in split or parallel configuration. 6.1.1.3 All tolerances are based on healthy system performance (see 4.5). 6.1.1.4 Guidance regarding the transients which may occur under abnormal and fault conditions is given in annex B. 6.1.1.5 The main power supply system is designed to ensure that transients following supply interruptions due to automatic changeover switch operation are within the tolerances given in table A. 6.1.1.6 The 440 V, 60 Hz, distribution system is designed to ensure that, when an individual motor is started, the sustained voltage at its terminals (after generator voltage recovery) will not fall below 375 volts unless otherwise stated by the relevant MOD(PE) authority. Recovery time of motor terminal voltage will depend on the motor run-up time. The voltage at other loads will not fall below the values given in table A. 6.1.1.7 The 115 V, 60 Hz, distribution system is designed to ensure that, when an individual motor is started, the sustained voltage at its terminals

DEF STAN 61-5 (PART 4)/2 6.1.1.7 (Contd) will not fall below 98 volts. Recovery time of motor terminal voltage will depend on the motor run-up time. The voltage at other loads will not fall below the values given in table A. 6.1.1.8 The system 3-phase r.m.s. symmetrical short circuit current at the terminals of user equipment will normally not exceed 33 kA for 440 V systems and 5 kA for 115 V systems. 6.2 Continuity of power supply. The supplies to user equipments with alternative sources of supply are liable to interruptions of between 0.3-5.0 seconds where automatic changeover switches are used and longer where hand changeover switches are provided. Utilization equipment should be designed to withstand such supply interruptions without damage or subsequent malfunction. Details of equipment incapable of withstanding such supply interruptions shall be discussed with the relevant MOD(PE) Department at an early stage of the design. 7 400 Hz Power Supply Characteristics at User Equipment Terminals 7.1 440 and 115 V, single and 3-phase 400 Hz supplies. The characteristics of these supplies are given in table B (reproduced from STANAG 1008). 8 DC Power Supply Characteristics at User Equipment Terminals 8.1 Provision of d.c. supplies. The d.c. power requirements of an equipment shall normally be met by internal power conditioning and connected to a 60 Hz supply conforming to the specifications detailed in STANAG 1008. In cases where this is not practicable a supply at 24 volts will be provided by transformer/rectifier units supplied from the 440 V, 60 Hz, 3-phase main supply. The availability of these supplies is limited and prospective users must obtain agreement from the appropriate MOD(PE) Authority. 8.1.1 Characteristics of low voltage dc supplies. These are given in STANAG 1008, subject to the reservations at annex A. 8.1.2 Choice of voltage. Normally only 24 V d.c. will be provided. Battery support may be available for those equipments which require it, but its use must be agreed by the MOD(PE) Authority. 8.2 Vessels with d.c. main supply systems. The following will be available in HM Surface Ships and Submarines having d.c. power supply systems: (a) Battery supply at 440 V or 480 V (nominal) for patrol submarines. (b) Battery supply at 240 V or 270 V (nominal) for nuclear submarines. (c) 220 V d.c. for surface ships. The characteristics of these supplies, which may have a wide operating voltage range, are not detailed in this Standard. Designers of equipment intended for use with the above should consult MOD(PE), Sea Systems Controllerate, ME 312, Block B, Foxhill, Bath, BA1 5AB who are the first point of contact for information regarding power supply characteristics:

NOTE 1: All tolerances are expressed as a percentage of the nominal voltage or frequency. NOTE 2: All tolerances are based on healthy system performance (see 4.5).

NOTE 3: The system 3-phase r.m.s. symmetrical short circuit current at the terminals of user equipment will not exceed 33 kA for 440 V systems and 5 kA for 115 V systems. 9.2 Voltage recovery time following transient excursions will be longer than specified in table A due to the slower response of the shore transformer voltage regulator.

DEF STAN 61-5 (PART 4)/2 ANNEX A STANAG 1008 - Substance of Agreement NATO STANAG 1008 (EDITION No 7) 25 MAY 1988 CHARACTERISTICS OF SHIPBOARD ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS IN WARSHIPS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY NAVIES SUBSTANCE OF AGREEMENT The NATO Military Committee through participating nations have agreed to standardize, in new construction warships, certain characteristics of the ship service power supply system. UK Reservations User equipments designed to operate from the main 60 Hz supply system of HM Surface Ships and Nuclear Submarines are to be capable of withstanding a rare transient in excess of values given in the STANAG. (See annex B). Wherever practicable, all machinery and equipment shall be designed for connection to a 440 V, 60 Hz, 3-phase system. On equipment rated at less than 5 kVA, if this is either undesirable (eg for personnel safety) or not practicable, the following shall be the order of preference: (a) 115 volts, 3-phase. (b) 115 volts, single phase. (c) 440 volts, single phase (use is discouraged). In HM Surface Ships maximum use is to be made of balanced, ie 3-phase supplies, and for this reason the order of preference of supplies given in the STANAG is unacceptable. The tolerances given in the STANAG apply to all shipboard 440 V or 115 V, single or 3-phase 400 Hz systems with the exception of aircraft servicing supplies. Owing to differences in present design between 24 V d.c. supply systems in HM Surface Ships and Submarines and those of other NATO Navies the user voltage limits for standard low voltage d.c. supplies in the STANAG shall not apply. The user voltage limits for equipments supplied with 24 volt d.c. in HM Surface Ships and Submarines shall be: (a) Non maintained systems. 20-26 volts. (b) Maintained systems, 18-26 volts.
