MIL-STD-2003 Electric Plant Installation Standard Methods For Surface Ships And SubmarinesThis standard covers shipboard installation requirements for electrical cable, equipment, penetrations, cableways, and connectors. This standard consists of this general standard and five parts as follows: Part 1 Cable Preparation and end-sealing, entry to equipment and connectors, repair and splicing. Part 2 Equipment Equipment mounting, switchboard mounting, battery equipment, casualty power, and shore power. Part 3 Penetrations Swage tubes, stuffing tubes, kickpipes, surface ships and submarines, hull penetration, and general. Part 4 Cableways General, submarine, surface ship and cable protection. Part 5 Connectors Cable and conductor preparation in accordance with MIL-C-81511, MIL-DTL-5015, MIL-DTL-26482, MIL-DTL-28840, MIL-DTL-22992, and MIL-DTL-38999 connectors.
