For reasons of economy, electrical power
distribution at Elmer and Fred was through
overhead lines. Between these two sites, two
submarine lines (each capable of carrying the
load) were provided for continuous service in
case of the failure of one line. For the transfer
of power over the submarine cables the
generated 2400 volts were first stepped up to
4,160 volts at Elmer and then stepped down
to 2,400 volts at Fred. At Ursula, 4,160 volts
and at Nan and Yvonne 2,400 volt circuits
were used; these were stepped down to operating
voltages of 208/117 by conveniently located
transformers.
Complete operating and production records
covering the fixed installations were maintained
and reported monthly to the AEC. There were
no serious power outages during the critical
test operational period. One of the 1000 KW
alternators on Elmer shorted and burned out
in early June 1956, and had to be sent to
Honolulu for rewinding. The remaining three
generators were able to meet all demands at
that time. The daily average of KW hours
produced at the fixed installations is shown in
Table 4-12.
