Section 2.

POWER SUPPLY

1.

ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY. In electric power source selection, use the same

criteria employed in NAVFAC DM-4 and NAVFAC DM-12 (see References (1) and

(3)). Research hyperbaric facilities chambers require primary, standby, and

emergency power sources. Recompression chambers require primary and standby

power.

a.

Primary. The primary power source must provide sufficient power

for peak demands during normal operations.

b.

Standby.

The standby power source must provide sufficient power

to

carry the minimum essential operating electric load required for absolutely

essential operations during the mission that must continue during extended

loss of primary power.

c.

Emergency. The emergency power source must provide sufficient

power for vital operations whose electric power interruption can be tolerated

only for relatively short durations.
