4.6 Mechanical and Electrical Systems<br />

Table 52 - <strong>SSG</strong>(X) Electric Load Analysis Summary<br />

Mechanical and electrical systems are selected based on mission requirements, standard naval requirements for<br />

combat ships, and expert opinion. The Machinery Equipment List (MEL) of major mechanical and electrical<br />

systems includes quantities, dimensions, weights, and locations. The complete MEL is provided in Appendix D.<br />

The major components of the mechanical and electrical systems and the methods used to size them are described in<br />

the following two subsections. The primary systems for a submarine are hydraulic, HP air, fresh water, salt water,<br />

ventilation, AC systems, and electrical power distribution. The arrangement of the system is detailed in Section<br />

4.8.2.<br />

4.6.1 Integrated Power System (IPS)<br />

The <strong>SSG</strong>(X) use an IPS to distribute power throughout the ship and power the propulsor. This is represented by<br />

the One-Line Electrical Diagram (Figure 72). Diesel generators with power conversion modules (AC/DC) and PEM<br />

fuel cells connect directly to the main switchboard (SWB). The battery banks are also connected to the SWB. The<br />

system uses two DC/440V buses with multiple Power Conversion Modules (PCMs); the power generated by the<br />

diesel engines is converted to DC/440V power by PCMs 3A and 3B. The other PCMs (1A – 2B) convert the DC<br />

power to either 120 or 440 V 60 Hz AC power. The battery system is configured at 400V, 58200 kW-hr banks<br />

wired in parallel.
