Fuel consumption necessary to transmit 300 kw 50 miles was approximated to be 7% higher than that necessary to transmit 300 kw 10 miles. The drip-proof generator would have a remote alarm to indicate overtemperature conditions. The generator output rating would be 300 kw continuous, 4,160 volts, 3 phase, 60 Hertz. A steady-state voltage regulation of was considered possible with a generator of this capacity. The diesel engine generator characteristics are listed in T

A steady-state voltage regulation of was considered possible with a generator of this capacity. The diesel engine generator characteristics are listed in Table A-4. The shore-based plant could supply a load of 300 kw at distances of 10 to 50 miles at 13,800 volts. For the 10-mile distance it was recommended that a 13,800-volt AC system be used, but for the 50-mile distance a 13,800-volt DC system was preferred. Since a 300-kw plant for a 50-mile load was selected for preliminary design, a transformer for stepping-up the generated voltage of 4,160 volts to 13,800 volts, as well as conversion equip- ment to provide DC transmission power, must be provided at the shore plant. Inversion equipment would be required in the load module. A two-conductor, shielded, armored cable with 1/0 AWG conductors would be used for the power transmission cable. 117.
