ENGINEERING EVALUATION TEST FOR STANDBY POWER SYSTEM LF 00-02 THROUGH LF 00-07,

Abstract

The test involved 25 simulated power failures at each of four facilities and a 5 day indurance run at one facility but using a maximum of three facilities if equipment failures make this nec essary. Measurements were made of the cooling airflow to the diesel engine during the endurance run. The standby power system is not suffici ently reliable for the Minuteman system in either automatic starting or sustained operation. The very high temperatures experience will also im pair the performance of the equipment. (Author)
