[Milsurplus] AC Power on Ships

[travisrdavis at gmail.com]

I am sorry I have misspoke, meant to say dynamo, not dynamotor a pretty big  
difference! Sorry for the confusion and thanks to Robert Downes for  
catching my misspeak.

A/C power also had to be provided to the ten 40mm gun mounts as they  
function off of A/C power.

Best Regards,

Travis


------------------------------------------

TEXAS was 120 VDC or at least that is what the four main dynamotors put
out. That makes it a pain for us because we can't operate certain systems,
such as the original ventilation blowers. Lights and receptacles are no
problem, but anything that requires DC power is a no-go. Though,
historically, TEXAS had some limited A/C power mostly for the receivers and
certain electrical receptacles in offices, staterooms, and cabins for A/C
appliances; and that was added in the 1940s.
