MF Power Quality/Safety Improvements--Neutral-Ground Separation Lloyd Bjurman NAVAIR FRC-SW, MF Engineering
Site Visits ’08 & ‘09 • MALS-11, 13, 14, 16, 24, 26, 29, 31, 39, 41, 49, & HMX-1 • Team with General Dynamics • Materials provided for Ground-Neutral separation • Site Visits to MALS-12 & 36 planned for later in year
Site Visits • Training to WC-990 to help complete effort
Site Visits • Assistance to Troubleshoot
Site Visits • Test Power Loads
Proposed INU MF meter • Attached to INU MF • Measure 3-phase currents, voltage, watts • Benefits: • Allow you to determine how close to maximum 200A to help you shed power or rebalance feeders • Provides actual load values for planning purposes
Site Visits • Check Grounding
Site Visits • Improve Grounding connection
Site Visits • Electrical Safety Recommendations Ckt# x Ckt# x Ckt# x Ckt# x
Site Visits • Electrical Safety Recommendations
Earth Ground Checks • Sites that comply with CASS FRD Ground ------------------------------------------------------- • Western US MALS: 11, 16, 24, 13 • MALS-13 Has 5 pads with electrolytic rods • Eastern US MALS: 14, 26, 29, 31 • Fort Worth MALS-41 (JRB-NAVFAC Measured) -------------------------------------------------------- • MALS-39 new construction to include upgraded grounding w Lyncole assistance
Power Quality • Remove current on Ground Conductors • Separate Neutral from Ground on MFs nearing conclusion • MMG-1A rehabs, New MF connectors • Benefits • Less damage to electronic components • May create less corrosion to MF exterior • Reduced number of earth ground rods
