Purpose.
1. This manual provides Department of the Army
and Air Force policy and guidance for design
criteria and standards for electrical power supply
and distribution systems.
2. Information and criteria in this manual
will guide engineering design personnel in determining
the adequacy of lightning and static electricity
protection systems for all types of facilities.
Policy and procedure of design development and
tests are also included. Referenced criteria, codes,
and standards are intended to include provisions for
normal type facilities, which when integrated with
criteria included herein, establish complete provisions
for these protection systems. The standards
and methods of system protection discussed are intended
as the most practical and economical means of
accomplishing protection of real property and avoidance
of casualties to personnel. These criteria will not
provide suitable protection for construction contractors’
personnel.
3. This manual presents general provisions and criteria for
planning, designing, and constructing lighting systems for
Army airfields, heliports, and helipads.
4. a. General: This manual provides engineering
data and criteria for designing electric power plants
where the size and characteristics of the electric
power load and the economics of the particular facility
justify on-site generation. Maximum size of
plant considered in this manual is 30,000 kW.
b. References: A list of references used in this
manual is contained in Appendix A. Additionally, a
Bibliography is included identifying sources of material
related to this document.
5. Purpose. one small section of a pipeline may be anodic
This manual presents design guidance for cathodic
protection systems.
