Pearl Harbor Z-Loop Upgrade Project Completion Report.

Abstract

The existing Z-loop of the deperming facility, Magnetic Silencing Facility, U.S. Naval Station, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii has been upgraded. The existing Z-loop, consisting of 30 loops of 500 MCM cable, was reported CASREP in July 1982. The new z-loop, consisting of 104 loops of 500 MCM single conductor cable, was installed during September-October 1982. A series of guide piles outlining the periphery of the intended route allowed the project team to lay the cables without excessive spread. The tight bundle produced assures that a uniform magnetic field is generated. In conjunction with this upgrade, the existing magnetometer array was serviced and surveyed. Non-functioning instruments were replaced and all instrument tube elevations and locations documented. The final phase of the project involved fabrication and installation of a new junction box assembly, connecting the z-loop cables to the power plant.
