EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES.
a.
DISE/PDISE is a family of power
distribution and illumination
equipment which transmits electrical power between power generation and power
using equipment.
DISE/PDISE supplements current unit illumination and adds
distribution capabilities.
b.
DISE/PDISE consists of items illustrated and listed in paragraph
1-11.
It is used to form a consolidated power network by adding components to
meet specific organizational missions and requirements.
c.
DISE/PDISE permits using units more flexibility by consolidating
power sources.
d.
DISE/PDISE provides flexibility to unit operations and can be quickly
assembled/disassembled for rapid relocation.
e. DISE/PDISE equipment is designed for basic climatic (120 to -25° F
[49 to -32° C]) and field conditions.
f. DISE/PDISE equipment is designed to be used with generator sets
(120/208 V ac, 50/60 Hz, 5 to 200 kW).
g.
DISE/PDISE system and user’s electrical equipment are protected by
circuit breakers within the DISE/PDISE equipment.
h.
DISE/PDISE equipment uses military standard connectors.
i.
DISE/PDISE equipment is compatible with International Standardization
Organization (IS0) containers and Tent Extendable, Modular, Personnel (TEMPER).
j. Line distance from generator to load is limited to a total of 300
feet (91.4m) at maximum load,
because line distance greater than 300 feet
(91.4m) would cause an unacceptable voltage loss. See Table 1-3 to determine
voltage loss at rated current.
k.
The M46 electrical utility assembly can be used to illuminate field
shelters.
The M46 is not intended to replace existing lighting sets, but is
intended to augment and expand current capabilities.

LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS.
a. Typical System Placement.
The quantity, location, and placement of
DISE and PDISE equipment is dependent upon field conditions and user needs.
Figure 1-1 is a typical field placement of a 3-phase power distribution system.
Figure 1-2 shows details of DISE and PDISE equipment inside the user’s tent.
