Power Distribution Illumination Systems Electrical (PDISE) expansion
Abstract
Prepare PDISE- Prime effort by awarding the Prime Power Distribution System (PPDS) contract, developing Prime Power Connection Kit first article units and start developmental testing inclusive of the Improved Primary Switching Center (iPSC) and Improved Secondary Distribution Center (iSDC) The Prime Power Connection Kit (PPCK) enables distribution of power from prime power sources which use medium voltages or higher. The system will transform medium or higher voltages down to standard 120/208 V, 3-phase power. Elements of the PPCK will enhance the existing Secondary Distribution Center (SDC) by incorporating advanced capabilities to accept either 4160 Volts Alternating Current (VAC) primary input power from a USA Deployable Power Generation and Distribution System (DPGDS) or a United States Air Force (USAF) Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR) power source or 13,800 VAC from contracted and commercial power sources or host nation/existing distribution systems. The PPCK includes the following: PDISE components are man-portable, safe for all weather operation and allows the warfighter to get electricity where its needed, when its needed. It provides flexibility to field operations and can be quickly assembled/dissembled for rapid relocation. Provides safe power distribution from the point of generation to the point of need - Network/C3I, Air & Missile Defense, Long Range Precision Fires, Command Post and Combat Support/Combat Service Support systems.
