    Load Shedding

    A protective feature that removes non-vital loads during overloads.

    Stage 1 Load Shed

    Disconnects non-vital loads for 100 milliseconds at overload.

    Stage 2 Load Shed

    Disconnects vital loads for an additional 5 seconds after Stage 1.

    Study Notes

    60 Hz Distribution ESWS Function

    • The system reliably distributes 450 Volts AC, 60 Hz power to all ship locations.
    • Power is sourced from three SSGTGs or shore power cables.
    • The system includes 12 shore power receptacles.

    Load Shedding

    • A protective feature against overload conditions.
    • Non-vital loads are tripped first, followed by vital loads if the overload persists.
    • Two stages of load shedding:
      • Stage 1: 100% rated load for 100 milliseconds.
      • Stage 2: 100% rated load for an additional 5 seconds after stage 1.

    Breakers Tripped for Stage One Load Shed

    • Ventilation equipment
    • Preheaters
    • Galley equipment
    • General work shop
    • Laundry
    • Non-vital engineering equipment

    Breakers Tripped for Stage Two Load Shed

    • Air conditioning units
    • VLS Anti-icing heaters
    • SPY-1D Anti-icing heaters

    Ships Service Gas Turbine Generators (GTGs)

    • Three GTGs, Rolls Royce 9140RF Generator sets.
    • Each rated at 3,000 kW, 4,800 amps, 3 phase, 450 volts, and 60Hz.
    • Generator locations:
      • GTG 1: AUX 1
      • GTG 2: MER 2
      • GTG 3: NR 3 GTG Room

    Switchboards

    • Three ship service switchboards (1S, 2S, and 3S) for zonal distribution of 60Hz, 450Vac, 3-phase power.
    • Each switchboard is divided into three sections: SG, SA, SB.
    • Additional 2SP section on switchboard 2S for shore power.
    • Integrated with load centers (LCs) at specific locations.
    • Specific switchboard sections house only their associated cross-tie breakers (XTBs).
    • Locations:
    • 1SA: 4-126-0-E (Aux 1)
    • 2SA: 4-254-0-E (Mer 2)
    • 3SA: 3-370-0-E (3 GTG Room)
    • 1SB: 1-158-4-Q (NR 1 SWBD Room)
    • 2SB: 1-254-2-Q (NR 2 SWBD Room)
    • 3SB: 01-338-2-Q (NR 3 SWBD Room)

    Shore Power

    • Supplied via 12, 400-amp receptacles located on 01 level amidships.
    • 10 receptacles typically used, for 4000 amps.
    • Breakers are located in the 2SP switchboard in MER 2.

    Load Centers

    • Extensions of switchboards for zonal distribution.
    • Connected to one power source (SWBD).
    • Odd-numbered units on starboard, even-numbered on port.
    • Six power distribution zones on USS RALPH JOHNSON.

    Casualty Power

    • Temporary 60 Hz power to vital equipment.
    • Strategically located cables for power to span damaged areas.
