1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This standard covers standard installation methods for casualty power, shore power, electrical
equipment, and switchboards.
1.1.1 Application. These installation methods are to be used by all installing activities. These methods do not
identify ship or type, but do establish minimum standards of acceptance for Naval ships. It is the responsibility of
the user activity to determine which method satisfies their requirements. It does not authorize relaxation of any
requirement specifically invoked by new construction, conversion, overhaul, or refurbishment contracts. In
instances where deviated design requirements (for example, ship type, ship class, and so forth) conflict with the
requirements of this standard, the requirements of this standard govern. Any deviation for electric plant installation
identified in this standard is to be submitted to NAVSEA 05Z3 for resolution.

MIL-STD-2003-2A(SH)
4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Electrical equipment mounting. The installation of electrical equipment shall be in accordance with figures
2A1 through 2A22. Electrical equipment shall be secured in a manner that it does not come into direct contact with
the outer shell plating or ballistic surfaces of the ship. A minimum clearance of 2 inches shall be maintained for
inspection and painting. The mounting of electrical equipment on bulkheads subject to condensation, such as the
outer surface of refrigerated space boundary bulkheads, shall be avoided. If no other location is feasible, the
equipment shall be mounted at least 2 inches clear of such surfaces. Also, cable shall not be mounted in direct
contact with such bulkheads, but shall use one of the wet location methods. When such surfaces are insulated,
appropriate insulation methods shall be used for both equipment and cable. Where necessary to attach electrical
equipment to decks or bulkheads within gun and missile blast areas, such equipment shall be mounted to provide a
2-inch minimum clearance between the structure and equipment, and, moreover, such equipment shall be located
clear of areas of maximum expected deflection or whip of bulkhead and deck plating in order to prevent breakage or
pulling loose of mounting feet. Composite electrical enclosures shall be mounted in accordance with NAVSEA
Standard Drawing 803-6983506.
4.1.1 Installation welding requirements. Unless otherwise specified on the individual figure, the welding of
studs, step hangers, tapped pads, mounting pads, extension hangers, and top bracing supports for switchboards shall
be in accordance with S9074-AR-GIB-010/278. Pads, studs, and so forth shall be tapped or threaded before being
welded to the ship’s structure.
4.1.2 Installation fasteners. Bolts, nuts, machine screws, and flat and lock washers shall be of commercial
grade (5 or better) and material specified. One to five (1-5) threads shall project past locking nuts. Threads shall be
American-National firm, coarse series Class 2, unless otherwise specified in a ship contract or ship specification.
Thread fastenings shall be as specified in FED-STD-H28. Locking devices shall be used for bolts mounting
electrical equipment. Through bolts and self-locking nuts shall be used to mount equipment in gun mounts and in
battery compartments. When required by local QA, torque seal shall be installed on all bus connections in power
panels, load centers, switchboards, and power converters upon verification of torque using a calibrated torque
wrench. Switchboards and load centers shall have torque seal on bus to bus connections as well as cable
connections (vendor or contractor) to bus work upon verification of torque using a calibrated torque wrench.
4.1.3 Holes drilled in beams. Location of holes drilled in beams for passing cables or securing of supports or
equipment shall be on or above the neutral axis.
4.1.4 Malleable iron castings. Malleable iron castings are not approved for any install except as may be noted
on the individual figure.

MIL-STD-2003-2A(SH)
4.2 Switchboard mounting. Switchboard mounting and bracing shall be in accordance with figures 2B1
through 2B6. The base of each unit shall be adequately secured to the foundation and shall be in a level plane (with
reference to ship’s baseline) when secure. In order to ensure there is no warping of the switchboard framework or
misalignment of component parts of the switchboard, the base of each section shall not be out-of-plane by more than
⅛ inch after installation, with all securing bolts tightened. Switchboards shall be located so that the base of the units
can be bolted directly to the deck stiffeners or foundation and not bolted to a thin deck plate. Foundation bolts of the
switchboard units shall be fastened to metal whose thickness in the immediate vicinity of the bolts is at least
equivalent to the bolt diameter. The addition of pads may be necessary to obtain the required thickness or to
compensate for the lack of flanges on the deck stiffeners. The requirements regarding rigidity of the switchboard
structure, the requirements for securing the units to the foundation, and for the foundation in the ship for mounting
the switchboard are intended to ensure that the switchboard units after installation in the ship will not display
unsatisfactory resonant vibrations. If the horizontal vibration of deck-mounted switchboard sections or
switchboards exceeds 0.040-inch double amplitude, measured on the framework near the top of the structure, top
bracing shall be provided. Rigidity of the braces and their attachments shall be adequate to prevent vibration of the
top of the section. Shear bolts may be employed in the braces if provision is made to prevent the brace from striking
the section or bulkhead after shearing of the bolt. Horizontal braces are preferred. The angle of inclination of braces
shall not exceed 45 degrees from the horizontal. The braces shall possess inherent flexibility in the vertical
direction. Top bracing and installation features shall conform to the methods shown in this section. Bolts, nuts, and
washers used to fasten the braces to the switchboard frame shall be held captive by suitable means. Unless other
means of bracing are provided, sway bracing shall be provided front-to-back on all switchboards and side-to-side on
one-section and two-section switchboards.
4.3 Storage batteries and servicing facilities. Storage batteries and service facilities shall be in accordance with
figures 2C1 through 2C10, and all batteries shall be valve regulate lead acid (VRLA), unless otherwise approved by
NAVSEA 05Z3. The required number of trays or cells shall be connected in series to produce the required voltage.
The necessary ampere-hour capacity shall be obtained by the use of the proper size of battery. Batteries may be
connected in parallel in order to obtain greater capacities than those available from the largest sized battery. In
general, batteries and their applications shall be as shown in table I. Alternative VRLA batteries shall be proposed if
technical and economic factors justify their use. All contractor-furnished and Government-furnished batteries shall
be maintained by the contractor in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions during construction of the ship.
The contractor shall charge all batteries in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions not more than 30 days before
Acceptance Trials (AT). Battery records shall be kept which indicate the battery function, the Navy type
designation, the specification type, the initial charging date, and the dates of subsequent charges, and date and type
of any other maintenance actions.

THIS METHOD IS TO BE USED WHEN THE DISTANCE

FROM THE BULKHEAD TO THE C G OF THE EQUIPMENT
IS LESS THAN 4 INCHES.
NOTES:
1. Location of mounting holes to be templated from unit being installed.
2. Small holes can be drilled into GRP panels with a sharp, twist-type drill bit. Prick punch to center drill bit.
Larger holes can be drilled with a hole cutter. When drilling holes for “blind fasteners”, a drill stop should be
utilized to prevent drilling through the entire panel. When using a hole cutter, first drill through one face
sheet, and from the opposite side of the panel, use the pilot hole from the first cut to drill the second face
sheet. This method will help avoid panel delamination and high pressure plastic laminate (HPPL) chipping.
3. When cutting and drilling GRP panels, care must be taken to provide adequate ventilation and dust collection.
Eye and ear protection and the use of a dust mask is recommended. Caution: if any signs of allergic reaction
appear when working with GRP panels, work should stop immediately.
4. Some chipping and cracking of the HPPL may occur when cutting or drilling GRP panels. This degradation
of the panel, while unavoidable, must be kept to a minimum so as not to degrade the holding capacity of
fasteners or take away from the finished appearance of the panel. In many cases, keeping the drill bits and
blades sharp, and using masking tape over the area to be cut or drilled, will keep degradation of the panel at a
minimum. If chips and cracks propagate out beyond where the mounting hardware ends, the damage will be
--`,````,``,``,,,,,`,`,,,`,`,,`,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
noticeable and will require cosmetic repair. In some cases, through-type fasteners may dimple the panel.
This condition is acceptable as long as there is no cracking of the panel face.
5. GRP panels are easily scratched, punctured, and scorched by hot work. Care should be taken when working
on or close to these panels.
6. For weight limitation of equipment installed on GRP panels, see figure 2A24.

APPENDIX A
Fastener selection (size) for installation of electrical equipment/foundations to GRP bulkheads/panels

Procedure for selecting fastener size and type:
1. Establish correct E, H, L, and Wp per pair of bolts:
E = Horizontal distance (inches) from BHD to equipment CG (taken from vendors drawings)
H = Vertical distance (inches) between the pair of bolts
Wp = Weight (pounds) of equipment acting through each pair of bolts (Wt ÷ number of bolt pairs)
L = Horizontal distance between the extreme pair of fasteners
Wt = total weight
L
E
2. Locate correct “E” and “H” values on the “E” and “H” scales shown in table 2A25-I.
3. Make a straight line connecting these points.
4. Where the line made in step 3 crosses the “K” scale shown in table 2A25-I, make a horizontal line all the way
to the right side of the chart.
5. The vertical lines located under each detail represent different ranges of weight that the vertical pair of
fasteners can support.
If the horizontal line made in step 4 crosses these vertical lines at values greater then the Wp found in step 1,
the fastener detail can be used. In the event that the Wp required exceeds the Wp available on the chart, a
pedestal foundation should be considered.
6. If more than one detail will work, the final choice will depend on such factors as available inventory, size of
existing mounting holes on equipment, type of space where the equipment is located, and the required finish
on the opposite face of the bulkhead.
7. “L” is a function of the number of pairs as shown:
No. of pairs “L”
2 0.5H
3 0.75H
4 1.0H
Example
Equipment: Feeder distribution box weight Wt = 20 lbs., Height = 14", Width = 13", Depth = 8"
Mounting data: Four holes – 17⁄32" dia, 10" (vertical), 9" (horizontal)
1. E = 4 (vendor data), H = 10, Wp = Wt ÷ number of bolt pairs = 20 ÷ 2 = 10 lbs.
2. A straight line connection of E = 4 and H = 10 results in a “K” value of 0.4.
3. A horizontal line drawn from a 0.4 “K” value to the right end of the chart shows that Method 2A-24-1 meets
the requirement.

NOTES:
1. Typical shore power installations for submarines are shown on figures 2E13 and 2E14.
2. Reference should be made to MIL-STD-3007 for typical shore power installations for shore activities.
3. In-line connector installations in accordance with figure 2E17 are used to connect cable assemblies to shore
power plugs. For ease of handling, approximately 10' of THOF-500 cable (15' of THOF-500 cable for
submarines) is used for each plug assembly and approximately 150' of THOF-500 for each cable assembly.
In-line connectors shall not be used in lieu of a splice of short run cables. Further, in-line connectors may be
omitted in favor of a continuous length of cable.
4. Typical shore power installations for surface ships are shown on figures 2E1 through 2E13.
5. Portable shore-to-ship power cables are the responsibility of the shore activity. Portable ship-to-ship or ship-
to-shore cables onboard ship (tenders, repair ships, etc.) are the responsibility of the ship. Splicing of shore
power cables is not recommended. If they cannot be avoided, splices and cable jacket repair should be in
accordance with the hot splice vulcanized neoprene method described in the Civil Engineering (Naval
Construction and Battalion Center, Port Hueneme, CA 93043) Technical Note TN No. N-1503.
6. Provide ungrounded electrical power at the ship’s shore power connection. Power shall be ungrounded from
a dedicated transformer secondary serving only the ship and no industrial grounded type loads. The
transformer amphere rating is not to be demanded or have a diversity factor applied.
7. Voltage shall not exceed the steady state voltage, ±5 percent, as measured at the ship’s main switchboard, i.e.,
for a 450-volt nominal ship system the allowable range is 427.5 to 472.5 volts.
8. Current rating requirement shall be achieved via multiple 400-amp shore power cabling circuits.
9. Install safety devices at dockside capable of automatically maintaining services during power surges and
equipped with circuit breakers to de-energize the electrical power during overloads. A 400-amp circuit
breaker (100 KAIC rating) shall be provided for each portable shore power cable circuit serving ship. Ensure
circuit breaker KAIC rating equals or exceeds (450 volt) transformer and cabling system capability.
10. Portable shore power cabling and connectors serving ship shall have a total current carrying capacity equal to
or exceeding the specified shore power current requirements.
11. Type and condition of portable cabling and connectors shall be in accordance with (MIL-STD-2003-2) figure
2E1.
12. Spliced portable cabling is not to be used.
13. All portable cable circuits are to be of equal lengths (within 10 percent).
14. Cabling shall not be allowed to droop into river/sea.
15. Route excess lengths of portable cabling along length of pier and not in coils.
16. Post safety barriers at ship and shore connections.
17. Connect the portable shore power cabling and connectors to the ship.
18. Comply with the ship's polarity requirements.
19. Shore power cables shall be wrapped with protective covering at locations where chafing may occur.
20. PE-stamped power system one-line diagram shall be reviewed/accepted by government electrical engineer
prior to award of contract or connection of ships power to commercial facilities. The drawing is to show both
permanent and portable conductors (size/type), switchgear bus ratings, other disconnects, pier connections,
circuit breaker ratings, or other features from utility (source) to ships terminals.
