1 OVERVIEW

1.1 Configuration Standard Summary

This Configuration Standards Technical Order (CSTO) establishes standards for electrical shore tie systems supporting USCG small boats and cutters. The Shore Infrastructure Logistics Center

(SILC) is responsible for the shore tie systems from the shoreside main circuit breaker to the shore tie receptacle and is also responsible for identifying the receptacle’s mating shore tie cable plug. The Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC) is responsible for the shore tie systems from the plug on the shoreside end of the shore tie cable to the electrical system on the cutter or boat. This CSTO is based on the use of Russellstoll® shore tie receptacles and shore tie plugs for small boats and low-power cutters and Military Specifications (MIL-SPEC)/NATO plugs and receptacles for high-power cutters.

Standardization of electrical shore ties for cutters has significantly improved interoperability of surface forces. A standard nationwide shore power receptacle/plug configuration for cutters is desirable to support homeport changes, new cutter construction, and extended out-of-area deployments. The standard receptacle/plug configuration for each cutter provides for shore power connectivity even at deployable and re-deployable locations.

1.2 Applicability

This technical order applies to all new or replacement electrical shore tie systems installed to support USCG vessels. Specifically, this guidance applies to shore ties supporting small boats, high-power cutters, and low-power cutters at Coast Guard shore facilities. All other shore ties provided to support other boats shall comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 555, Marinas, Boatyards, and Commercial and Noncommercial Docking Facilities.

This CSTO does not identify the cables connecting the vessel to the shore tie.

2 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

This Configuration Standard Technical Order (CSTO) establishes standards for the electrical infrastructure of the shore ties based upon SFLC facility requirements for each vessel. In conformance with logistics practices and to enhance homeporting interoperability, shore ties shall be standard for each cutter class and for each class of small boats. Standardization of shore ties will normally occur during the acquisition phase, with funding provided from the appropriation used to procure the new cutters/small boats. This CSTO applies to new installations and/or modernization and recapitalization of existing shore ties.

This CSTO addresses only the shoreside facilities and equipment to provide electrical service to cutters and small boats.

2.1 Organization

This CSTO covers the SILC’s responsibility for configuring and installing electrical shore ties, and each surface asset section of this CSTO (Section 2.5 and 2.6) is organized into the following subsections from upstream to downstream of the electrical circuit when applicable:

• Main Disconnect Requirements

• Feeder Requirements

• Isolation Transformer Requirements

• Power Mound Requirements

• Enclosure, Electrical Receptacle and Plug Requirements

• Installation and Acceptance Testing

This technical order defines the requirements for providing acceptable facility/vessel (cutters and small boats) electrical shore ties throughout the Coast Guard for both new and existing assets as identified in Table A-1, Table A-2, and Table A-3.

2.2 Scope

The boundaries of engineering responsibility between this SILC CSTO; the Naval Engineering

Manual, COMDTINST M9000.6 (series); and the Command, Control, Communication, Computer, Cyber and Intelligence Service Center (C5ISC) are the receptacle in the shore tie enclosure and plug on the shoreside end of the shore tie cable. This standard is based on

Russellstoll® receptacles for small boats and low-power cutters as well as MIL-SPEC receptacles for high-power cutters. For clarification purposes, the responsibilities for the SILC, SFLC, and C5ISC are divided as follows:

SILC: This CSTO covers the electrical distribution system and all associated equipment from the shoreside main circuit breaker to the shore tie receptacle on the pier. It also identifies the connector based upon SFLC-defined requirements.

SFLC: The SFLC is responsible for defining the electrical system and all associated equipment from the plug on the shoreside end of the shore tie cable to the electrical system on the cutter/boat. Shore tie cables are under the purview of the SFLC and thus outside the scope of this CSTO. The SFLC is responsible for providing shore tie cables with the proper plug to connect to the shore tie. Therefore, best practices for the proper care, storage, and maintenance of shore tie cables are not addressed in this SILC CSTO.

C5ISC: Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Information Technology (C4IT) shore tie cables provide shipboard connectivity to the provided voice circuits and data circuits from the servicing shore facility, as identified in U.S. Coast Guard C4&IT Shore Tie Cable

Standards. No other services (i.e., CCTV, CATV, etc.) are considered part of the standard

C4&IT shore tie. Shore tie receptacles for cutter C4IT communications are only covered by this

CSTO when they are included in a power mound configuration. Standalone communication shore-ties are not included in this technical order.

2.2.1 Who Performs

The Shore Infrastructure Logistics Center (SILC) is responsible for executing this technical order for the shoreside electrical system installation, based upon the pier-side power system requirements provided by the SFLC. The Facilities Design and Construction Center (FDCC), Civil Engineering Units (CEUs), and Facility Engineers (FEs) for HQ units of the SILC are responsible for executing the requirements of this technical order. The FDCC and the CEU organizations will execute this technical order through their contracting officers with appropriate

PC&I or Coastal and Shore Operations-Depot Level Maintenance (CSO-DLM) funding.

Any request for deviation from the guidance provided within this CSTO requires an approved waiver in accordance with the Engineering Change Proposal and Configuration Control Board

Process Guide, SILC-PGTO-36-11 29 13 15 11-00.

2.2.2 Applicability

All surface forces (cutters and boats) and their homeport and logistics facilities are covered under this technical order.

2.2.3 When to Perform

All new construction, recapitalization, and shore tie upgrades at piers and wharfs shall comply with this technical order.

2.2.4 To Whom (Customers)

The technical order shall be used by all facility managers (CEU, Base FE, Engineering Officers

A limited supply of new Russellstoll® receptacles is maintained at the SFLC warehouse and is only available through direct coordination with the Mission Support Product Line (MSPL). The primary purpose for this inventory is to support Casualty Reporting (CASREP) response and hurricane recovery. Receptacles may also be provided as government-furnished equipment for construction contracts impacted by long delivery times or other contractual issues. For configurations requiring Russellstoll® shore tie receptacles, MSPL has created an inventory program to assist with long lead time and Buy American Act complications that may exist.

Subject to inventory levels, MSPL can provide government-furnished receptacle equipment to assist with new construction, depot level maintenance, and casualty repairs to CEUs or shore facilities upon request. To get more details on the program visit MSPL’s shore tie program

SharePoint page located here. MIL-SPEC receptacles are not inventoried at this time.

For a design where only a single receptacle is required, the preferred design is to provide a single receptacle in a Russellstoll®-provided receptacle enclosure.

All shore power receptacles shall be equipped with a mechanical interlock, like the Russellstoll®

MaxGard or ESL Power Systems Interlock, that blocks insertion and removal of the plug when the receptacle is energized. A mechanical interlock on the receptacle prevents installation or removal of a plug while the integral disconnect switch or circuit breaker is closed, protecting ship's force from a possible arc that could damage the plug or cause burns. The components are designed for heavy duty marine use and exposure to salt-laden moisture.

2.4.3 Equipment Location

Electrical equipment shall be constructed with a coating system and located to maximize protection from vehicle impacts, storm surges, flooding, and windblown or floating debris.

Electrical equipment susceptible to vehicle impacts shall be protected by appropriately sized, placed, and anchored bollards. Bollards shall be painted bright yellow with optional black striping or provided with a commercially manufactured identification cover assembly.

2.4.4 Raceways and Conductors

2.4.4.1 Conduit and Cable Trays

Any conduit run underneath piers and wharves shall be adequately supported and braced to prevent rupture due to seismic motion, impacts from floating debris, storm surges, or flooding.

Conduit support structures shall be capable of resisting gravity loads as well as buoyant forces.

Conduit and trays shall be supported with stainless steel hardware.

2.4.4.2 Non-Metallic Raceway

Epoxy fiberglass conduit (RTRC) (minimum ¼ inch wall thickness) or epoxy fiberglass cable trays shall be used underneath piers and wharves. Cable trays may be used where protection or elevation avoids impact from debris.

Above pier shall be either RTRC or PVC schedule 80.

PVC schedule 40 shall not be used.

For installations with large numbers of heavy cables, non-metallic epoxy fiberglass cable trays are recommended under piers when protected from floating debris.

2.4.4.3 Metallic Raceway (Optional)

PVC-coated rigid galvanized steel (RGS) (urethane interior coating) conduit, marine-grade aluminum, or Type 316 stainless steel cable trays shall be used underneath piers or wharves.

Certain design considerations should be considered before using either system, as follows:

• PVC-coated RGS conduit shall be properly tied into the earth electrode ground system for the pier. RGS conduit will corrode in marine environments, can experience significant induced current as a result, and shall thus be carefully considered. Consider oversizing conduit to accommodate conductor bundling and thus minimize induction per NEC.

• Marine-grade aluminum or Type 316 stainless steel cable trays may be used, but all shore tie feeder conductors shall be bundled per NEC to reduce induction.

• PVC-coated RGS shall be installed by contractors with a minimum of 5 years of experience. Continued maintenance and inspection of system is necessary to ensure couplings and connections retain integrity and avoid corrosion.

• RGS, rigid metal conduit (RMC), and electric metallic tube (EMT) shall not be used on waterfront areas.

• Type 316 stainless steel may be used and shall be supported with stainless steel hardware.

2.4.4.4 Conductors

Multiple conductor control cables to power mounds from switchgear shall be shielded. Cables that run through vaults or under piers or wharves shall be designed for submergence. Shore power cable ampacity shall normally be calculated at 40°C (104°F) ambient air temperature. A

50°C (122°F) ambient air temperature should be substituted in exceptionally hot climates.

For services exceeding 400 amperes, 535 MCM single conductor diesel locomotive (DLO/UL44

RHH-RHW-2) cable is the required minimum AWG wire size because of its flexibility and resistance to moisture. Actual wire size shall be increased as required to not exceed the specified maximum permitted cable voltage % (cable distance from dedicated voltage isolation transformer to power mound receptacle). Each conduit should contain exactly one conductor of each phase. For cable trays, single conductor cables should be tightly banded into triplexed phase bundles. To prevent inductive heating, unbundled single conductor cables shall not encircle ferromagnetic material. Refer to drawing Figure C-14 for cable information and termination hardware to be used with this conductor. Larger sizes of DLO cable may be required for long runs based on an allowable voltage drop at full rated load.

Double banking or parallel stacking of power cables is not allowed.

The feeder conductor distance from the disconnect switch ashore to the shore tie should be minimized to prevent excessive voltage drop.

2.4.4.5 Terminations

Cables shall terminate on bus bars and circuit breakers with silver-plated compression type ring terminals, which are to be applied using the manufacturer-recommended crimper and die. Anti-rotation clips shall be used with single hole type lugs to prevent possible short circuiting with nearby conductors. Provide stud adapters on circuit breakers for landing lugs.

Compression lugs for DLO cable (and other finely stranded cable) shall be specifically designed for such conductors. Utilize oxide inhibiter on cable prior to compression of lug and sleeve heat shrink over barrel of lug and at least 3 inches over conductor jacket.

Terminations utilizing Allen screws or mechanical clamps shall not be used.

2.4.5 Installation and Acceptance Testing

All acceptance tests shall be performed in the presence of a Coast Guard inspector or

Contracting Officers Representative (COR). Contractor shall provide a written report to the

Coast Guard inspector of all test results within one week of test completion.

See section B.2.11 for details regarding electrical equipment installation, and section B.2.12 for details on acceptance testing.

2.5 Shore Tie Standards – Small Boats

All vessels less than 65 feet in length are classified as small boats and are identified solely by hull number.

Electrical shore ties for small boats have been standardized on Russellstoll®. Replacement of the existing shore ties to meet this standard shall be accomplished as part of normal maintenance/recapitalization actions unless safety concerns necessitate more immediate replacement. Electrical shore ties to support new assets shall be constructed as part of the homeport preparation process using funds appropriated for the acquisition of the new vessel.

Refer to Table A-1 for electrical characteristics.

2.5.1 Main Disconnect Requirements

2.5.1.4 Disconnect Switches

The receptacle(s) serving a single vessel shall be on their own disconnect switch(es) or circuit breaker(s) to allow an afloat unit to disconnect and connect to shore power without affecting other vessels. For vessels with non-continuous loads only, a 100% rated breaker is required.

The long-time delay setting of each dockside circuit breaker shall be no greater than the smaller of the following:

• The total ampacity of the shore-to-ship cable(s) connected to it.

• The ampacity of the feeder between the associated shore power receptacle(s) and the in-hull circuit breaker, including the rating of any step-down transformer.

2.5.1.5 Metering

Shore power for small boats shall be metered in accordance with the Advanced Metering

Infrastructure CSTO, SILC-CSTO-36-11 31 17 11-01. A single master meter is required to meter all small boat shore ties located at each pier/wharf supporting small boats. Individual metering of small boat shore power is not required.

2.5.2 Feeder Requirements

2.5.2.1 Raceway and Conductors

See section 2.4.4 for requirements on raceway and conductors.

2.5.3 Electrical Receptacle and Plug Requirements

Shoreside power receptacles shall be equipped with a mechanical interlock that blocks insertion and removal of the plug when the receptacle is energized. Russellstoll® mechanically interlocked receptacles are the standard for small boats. Refer to Figure F-6 for an example of a small boat receptacle.

A mechanical interlock shore tie receptacle, like the Russellstoll® MaxGard, is a circuit breaker interlock that prevents installation or removal of a plug while the integral disconnect circuit breaker is closed. A rugged cast aluminum housing with electrostatic epoxy coating and stainless-steel hardware enables heavy duty marine use and exposure to salt-laden moisture.

Waterproof construction with O-ringed interior components provides environmental separation, watertight mated or unmated. A heavy on/off handle adds mechanical-to-electrical (CB) interlock functionality. All receptacles and connectors shall have a gated rotating disk (gated deadfront) on the face of the interior, which engages upon insertion. Standard delayed-action pull, and withdrawal offers all plugs an explosion-proof rating. Pin and sleeves shall be marine-grade

CDA brass, and 200- and 400-amp pins and sleeves are silver plated. Twenty-four single-rated device polarizations ensure exact voltage, frequency, and phase differentiations. There are two optional pilot/control pins for contactors, load monitoring circuits, shunt trip, and any other communication function if needed. Grounding of the mechanical interlock shore tie receptacle shall be accomplished through a separate center ground (earth) make-first and break-last pole on all devices for complete system ground to protect from possible arcing.

When convenient, multiple small boat receptacles can be mounted on a single stanchion mount to save space along the shore dock.

2.5.3.1 Standard Small Boats

Grounded service shall be provided to each standard small boat (e.g., 45-foot response boat – medium (RBM), 47-foot motor lifeboat (MLB), and 49-foot buoy utility stern loading (BUSL) boat). The shore tie enclosure shall house a Russellstoll® mechanically interlocked shore tie receptacle, as shown in Table A-1.

Where several vessels of the same class operate within a geographical area, it may be advantageous to outfit all homeports with the same receptacle.

2.5.3.2 Non-Standard Small Boats

Shore receptacles for non-standard small boats are not standardized.

All shore ties supporting non-standard small boats shall comply with NEC Article 555, Marinas, Boatyards, and Commercial and Noncommercial Docking Facilities.

2.6 Shore Tie Standards – Cutters

Vessels 65 feet in length and longer are generally classified as cutters, which are further broken down into the categories of low-power cutters (LPCs) and high-power cutters (HPCs). Each cutter has a name as well as a responsible SFLC product line. Cutters are assigned a permanent crew with an officer in charge (OIC) or commanding officer (CO). The specific shore tie technical requirements for each cutter class are available from the SFLC and are summarized in Appendix A.

Electrical shore ties for high-power cutters are standardized on MIL-SPEC 400-amp receptacles and are normally provided using the PC&I funds set aside to modify/upgrade waterfront facilities to support the new cutters. Refer to Table A-3.

Electrical shore ties for low-power cutters are non-standard and variable, all utilizing

Russellstoll® receptacles. Replacement of the existing receptacles to meet this standard shall be accomplished as part of normal maintenance/recapitalization actions. Receptacles and enclosures to support new assets shall be constructed as part of the homeport preparation process using funds appropriated for the acquisition of the new vessel. Refer to Table A-2.

In order to obtain favorable utility rates, shore power systems may be equipped with static or automatic power factor correcting capacitors. Capacitor banks shall be equipped with discharge resistors that automatically reduce plate voltage to less than 50 volts within one minute of de-energization. For services intended for use by cutters with paralleling capabilities, the system shall be designed to prevent operation with a leading (capacitive) power factor.

Ungrounded delta 450V, three-phase, three-wire, 60 Hz power shall be the Coast Guard shore tie standard for cutters operating in salt water or the Great Lakes. This category is further subdivided into low-power cutters and high-power cutters. The desired hotel voltage as measured at the cutter switchboard with normal port loads should be 450V; therefore, the source voltage may be higher than 450V. Field adjustments may be made to the primary transformer taps per section 2.6.3.4.1. See Table A-2.

Ungrounded delta 230V, three-phase, three-wire, 60 Hz power shall be the Coast Guard shore tie standard for river (WLR), inland waterway (WLI), and construction (WLIC) tenders operating predominantly in fresh water. See Table A-2.

2.6.1 Main Disconnect Requirements

2.6.1.1 Disconnect Switches

The receptacle(s) serving a single vessel shall be on their own disconnect switch(es) or circuit breaker(s) to allow an afloat unit to disconnect and connect to shore power without affecting other vessels. For non-continuous loads, a 100% rated breaker is required.

The long-time delay setting of each dockside circuit breaker shall be no greater than the smaller of the following:

• The total ampacity of the shore-to-ship cable(s) connected to it.

• The ampacity of the feeder between the associated shore power receptacle(s) and the in-hull circuit breaker, including the rating of any step-down transformer.

2.6.1.2 Metering

Shore power to each cutter shall be separately metered in accordance with the Advanced

Metering Infrastructure CSTO, SILC-CSTO-36-11 31 17 11-01.

2.6.1.3 Phase rotation

Phase rotation for shore power AC systems shall follow the NEC arrangement. For bus and cable connections, the arrangement is A-B-C, from front to back, top to bottom, left to right as viewed from the front of enclosure; for shore-tie receptacle phase rotation, the arrangement is

“clockwise” as viewed from the front of the receptacle. On multiple parallel receptacle installations, each pin location on each receptacle must be connected to the same phase.

2.6.2 Feeder Requirements

2.6.2.1 Raceway and Conductors

See section 2.4.4 for requirements on raceway and conductors.

2.6.2.2 Grounding

See Appendix D for a typical shore and cutter power distribution system grounding diagram.

2.6.2.3 Circuit Protection

2.6.2.3.1 Remotely Operated Circuit Breakers

Remotely operated circuit breakers shall be of a molded case design with an internal electrical operator and spring charging motor, and a high-current electro-mechanical contactor may also be used as a remotely operated solenoid. Motor-driven accessories shall not be installed over the operating handles of molded case devices.

2.6.2.3.2 Over-Current Relays

Programmable electronic trip units or over-current relays shall be installed as over-current protective devices in all shore power distribution circuits operating above 250 volts. Thermal-magnetic trip elements may be used in lower voltage shore power distribution systems and shall be rated for 40°C ambient.

2.6.2.3.3 Phase Loss Protection

One or more relays shall be installed to protect main service panels with a three-phase power supply from phase loss. Such protective relays shall automatically secure shore power until satisfactory conditions are reestablished, requiring manual reset. Phase loss shall be provided with adjustable time delay (0.1–20 seconds) on the shunt trip of the molded case circuit breaker.

2.6.2.3.4 Surge Protective Devices

Shore power systems shall be equipped with Type 2 surge protective devices (SPDs) to prevent damage to sensitive cutter electronic systems. Such devices shall be designed to clamp line-to-line voltages to the lowest values recognized by UL Standard 1449 and safely dissipate the maximum expected surge energy without damage. SPDs shall be self-testing to alert maintenance personnel of surge protection failure.

2.6.3 Isolation T ransformer Requirements

2.6.3.1 Shore Power Isolation Transformers

Shore power isolation transformers are normally of the dry type, typically available in sizes up to

2500 kVA. Oil-filled transformers are also acceptable, especially for large services, when installed in marine environments; however, local environmental regulations may prohibit locating such units, even those filled with biodegradable vegetable oil, at sites where tank leakage could drain into navigable waters. Designers shall refer to local guidance and code requirements including accounting for marine conditions when selecting an appropriate transformer type.

When significant corrosion or heavy weather is expected, oil-filled transformers are preferred.

2.6.3.2 Transformer Insulation

Shore power transformers for all vessels shall be equipped with copper windings with 220°C rated insulation and 150°C average temperature rise at full load in a 40°C ambient environment.

If a dry type transformer is to be located outdoors, a 115°C epoxy encapsulated transformer shall be used in accordance with NEMA 6P.

2.6.3.3 Transformer Cooling Class

Dry type transformers shall have an “AA/FA” cooling class. Transformer shall be Ambient Air

(AA) cooled under low loading conditions with Forced Air (FA) using natural convection for cooling under heavier loading conditions.

2.6.3.4 Transformers Serving Cutters

Each cutter shore tie service shall be fed from a dedicated delta-delta isolation transformer with the characteristics detailed in the following subsections. Two or more cutters shall not be connected to the same isolation transformer.
