2.6.1 INTRODUCTION.
© Power distribution: D-C and a-c power buses, d-c and a-c
sensing circuits, controls and displays.
In general, the system operates in three modes: peak, average,
and minimum mission loads. Peak loads occur during performance of
major delta V maneuvers, including boost. These are of relatively short
duration with d-c power being supplied by three fuel cell power plants
supplemented by two of three entry batteries. A-C power is supplied by
two of three inverters.
The second mode is that part of the mission when power demands
vary about the average. During these periods d-c power is supplied by
three fuel cell power plants and a-c power by one or two inverters.
During drifting flight when power requirements are at a minimum
level, d-c power is supplied by three fuel cell powerplants. A-C power is
supplied by one or two inverters. In all cases, operation of one or two
inverters is dependent on the total cryogen available. Two-inverter
operation results in a slight increase of cryogenic usage because of a
small reduction in inverter efficiency due to the lesser loads on each
inverter. However, two inverter operation precludes complete loss of ac
in the event of an inverter failure.

During the CSM separation maneuver the power plants supply power
through the SM buses to two SM jettison control sequencers. The sequen-
cers sustain SM RCS retrofire during CSM separation and fire the SM
positive roll RCS engines two seconds after separation to stabilize the SM
during entry. Roll engine firing is terminated 7.5 seconds after separa-
tion. The power plants and SM buses are isolated from the umbilical
through a SM deadface. The sequencers are connected to the SM buses
when the CM/SM SEP switch (MDC-2) is activated; separation occurs
100 milliseconds after switch activation.

sensors activate an automatic disconnect of the inverter from the a-c
bus during an overvoltage condition. A-C overload conditions are dis-
played by illumination of an overload warning light and are accompanied
by a low voltage light. Additional sensors monitor fuel cell overload and
reverse current conditions, providing an automatic disconnect, together
with visual indications of the disconnect whenever either condition is
exceeded.
Switches, meters, lights, and talk-back indicators are provided for

Two parallel d-c heaters in each tank supply the heat necessary to
maintain design pressures. Two parallel 3-phase a-c circulating fans
circulate the fluid over the heating elements to maintain a uniform density
and decrease the probability of stratification. A typical heater and fan
installation is shown in figure 2.6-4, Relief valves provide overpressure
relief, check valves provide tank isolation, and individual fuel cell shutoff
valves provide isolation of malfunctioning power plants. Filters extract
particles from the flowing fluid to protect the ECS and EPS components.
The pressure transducers and temperature probes indicate the thermody-
namic state of the fluid. A capacitive quantity probe indicates quantity of
fluid remaining in the tanks.

Repressurization of the systems can be automatically or manually
controlled by switch selection. The automatic mode is designed to give a
single-phase reactant flow into the fuel cell and ECS feed lines at design
pressures. The heaters and fans are automatically controlled through a
pressure switch-motor switch arrangement. As pressure in the tanks
decreases, the pressure switch in each tank closes to energize the motor
switch, closing contacts in the heater and fan circuits. Both tanks have
to decrease in pressure before heater and fan circuits are energized.
When either tank reaches the upper operating pressure limit, that respec-
tive pressure switch opens to again energize the motor switch, thus
opening the heater and fan circuits to both tanks. The O2 tank circuits
are energized at 865 psia minimum and de- energized at 935 psia maxi-
mum. The H2 circuits energize at 225 psia minimum and de-energize at
260 psia maximum, The most accurate quantity readout will be acquired
a shortly after the fans have stopped. During all other periods partial
stratification may degrade quantity readout accuracy.
When the systems reach the point where heater and fan cycling is at
a minimum (due to a reduced heat requirement), the heat leak of the tank
is sufficient to maintain désign pressures provided flow is within the
min dq/dm values shown in the preceding tabulation. This realm of oper-
ation is referred to as the min dq/dm region. The minimum heat require-
ment region for oxygen starts at approximately 45 percent quantity in the
tanks and terminate at approximately 25 percent quantity. Between these
tank quantities, minimum heater and fan cycling will occur under normal
usage. The amount of heat required for repressurization at quantities
below 25 percent starts to increase until below the 3 percent level
practically continuous heater and fan operation is required. In the hydro-
gen system, the quantity levels for minimum heater and fan cycling are
between approximately 53 and 33 percent, with continuous operation
occurring at approximately 5 percent level.
The maximum continuous flow that each cyrogenic tank can provide
at minimum design pressure is dependent on the quantity level and the
heat required to maintain that pressure. The heat required to maintain a
constant pressure decreases as quantity decreases from full to the mini-
mum dq/dm point. As quantity decreases beyond the minimum dq/dm
region, the heat required to maintain a constant pressure increases.

To avoid excessive temperatures, which could be realized during
continuous heater and fan operation at extremely low quantity levels, a
thermal sensitive interlock device is in series with each heater element.
The device automatically opens the heater circuits when internal tank
shell temperatures reach +90°F, and closes the circuits at +70°F.
Assuming normal consumption, oxygen temperature will be approximately
_157°F at mission termination, while hydrogen temperature will be
approximately -385°F.
The manual mode of operation bypasses the pressure switches, and
supplies power directly to the heaters and/or fans through the individual
control switches. It can be used in case of automatic control failure,
heater failure, or fan failure.
Tank pressures and quantities are monitored on meters located on
MDC-2. The caution and warning system (CRYO PRESS) will alarm when
oxygen pressure in either tank exceeds 950 psia or falls below 800 psia.
The hydrogen system alarms above 270 psia and below 220 psia. Since a
common lamp is provided, reference must be made to the individual pres-
sure and quantity meters (MDC-2) to determine the malfunctioning tank.
Tank pressures, quantities, and reactant temperatures of each tank are
telemetered to MSFN.
Oxygen relief valves vent at a pressure between 983 and 1010 psig
and reseat at 965 psig minimum. Hydrogen relief valves vent at a pres-
sure between 273 and 285 psig, and reseat at 268 psig minimum. Full
flow venting occurs approximately 2 pounds above relief valve opening
| pressure.
All the reactant tanks have vac-ion pumps to maintain the integrity
of the vacuum between the inner and outer shell, thus maintaining heat
leak at or below the design level. SM main d-c bus A distributes power
to the Hp tank 1 pump and bus B to the Hz tank 2 pump. Fuses provide
power source protection. These fuses are removed during prelaunch to
disable the circuit for flight. Circuit breakers, Oz VAC ION PUMPS -
MNA - MNB (RHEB-229), provide power source protection for the CM
main buses, which distribute power to the Oz vac-ion pumps. The circuit
breakers allow use of the Oz vac-ion pump circuits throughout flight,
and provide a means of disabling circuit if necessary.
The most likely period of overpressurization in the cryogenic sys-
tem will occur during operation in the minimum dq/dm region. The
possibility of overpressurization is predicated on the assumption of a
vacuum breakdown, resulting in an increase in heat leak. Also, und
certain conditions, i.e., extremely low power levels and/or a
a

depressurized cabin, demand may be lower than the minimum dq/dm flow
necessary. Any of the preceding conditions would result in an increase of
pressure within a tank.
In the case of hydrogen tank overpressurization, prior to reaching
relief valve cracking pressure, tank pressure can be decreased by per-
forming an unscheduled fuel cell hydrogen purge. A second method for
relieving overpressure is to increase electrical loads, thus increasing
fuel cell demand. However, in using this method, consideration must be
given to the fact that there will be an increase in oxygen consumption,
which may not be desirable.
Several procedures can be used to correct an overpressure condi-
tion in the oxygen system. One is to perform an unscheduled fuel cell
purge. A second is to increase oxygen flow into the command module by
opening the ECS DIRECT 02 valve. The third is to increase electrical
loads, which may not be desirable because this method will also increase
hydrogen consumption.
Increase of electrical loads is probably the least desirable method
because of the increase in demand on both reactant systems, although an
overpressure correction is required in only one reactant system.
A requirement for an overpressure correction in both reactant sys-
tems simultaneously is remote, since both reactant systems do not reach
the minimum dq/dm region in parallel.

Each battery is rated at 40-ampere hours (AH) minimum and will
deliver this at a current output of 35 amps for 30 minutes and a subse-
quent output of 2 amps for the remainder of the rating.
At Apollo mission loads each battery is capable of providing 45 AH
and will provide this amount after each complete recharge cycle. How-
ever, 40 AH is used in mission planning for inflight capability, and 45 AH |
for postlanding capability of a fully charged battery.
Open circuit voltage is 37.2 volts. Sustained battery loads are
extremely light (2 to 3 watts); therefore a battery bus voltage of approxi-
mately 34 vde will be indicated on the spacecraft voltmeter, except when
the main bus tie switches have been activated to tie the battery outputs to
the main d-c buses. Normally only batteries A and B will be connected
to the main d-c buses. Battery C is isolated during prelaunch by opening
the MAIN A-BAT C and MAIN B-BAT C circuit breakers (RHEB-275).
Battery C will therefore provide a backup for main d-c bus power in case
of failure of battery A or B or during the time battery A or B is being
recharged. The two-battery configuration provides more efficient use of
fuel cell power during peak power loads and decreases overall battery ia
recharge time. The MAIN A- and MAIN B-BAT C circuit breakers
are closed prior to CSM separation or as required during recharge of
battery A or B.
Battery C, through circuit breakers BAT C to BAT BUS A and
BAT C to BAT BUS B (RHEB-250), provides backup power to the
respective battery bus in the event of failure of entry battery A or B.
These circuit breakers are normally open until a failure of battery A or
B occurs. This circuit can also be used to recharge battery A or B in
the event of a failure in the normal charging circuit.
The two pyrotechnic batteries supply power to initiate ordnance
devices in the SC. The pyrotechnic batteries are isolated from the rest
of the EPS to prevent the high-power surges in the pyrotechnic system
from affecting the EPS, and to ensure source power when required,
These batteries are not to be recharged in flight. Entry and postlanding
battery A, B, or C can be used as a redundant source of power for
initiating pyro circuits in the respective A or B pyro system, if either
pyro battery fails. This can be performed by proper manipulation of the
circuit breakers on RHEB-250. Caution must be exercised to isolate the
failed battery prior to connecting the replacement battery.

Closing of reactant valves during a power plant disconnect is
dependent on the failure experienced. If power plant failure is such as to
allow future use, i.e., shutdown due to partially degraded output, it is
recommended the reactant valves remain open to provide a positive
reactant pressure. The valves should be closed after power-plant skin
temperature decays below 300°F. The reactant valves are closed during
initial shutdown, if the failure is a reactant leak, an abnormally high
regulator output pressure, or complete power-plant failure. i

The eight-stage power inversion section, fed a controlled voltage
from the buck-boost amplifier, amplifies the eight 400-Hz square waves
produced by the eight-stage digital countdown section. The amplified
square waves, still mutually displaced 22.5 electrical degrees, are next
applied to the harmonic neutralization transformer.
The harmonic neutralization section consists of 31 transformer
windings on one core, This section accepts the 400-Hz square-wave out-
put of the eight-stage power inversion section and transforms it into a
3-phase 400-Hz 115-volt signal. The manner in which these transformers
are wound on a single core produces flux cancellation which eliminates all
harmonics up to and including the fifteenth of the fundamental frequency.
The 22. 5-degree displacement of the square waves provides a means of
electrically rotating the square wave excited primary windings around the
3-phase, wye-connected secondary windings, thus producing the 3- phase 400-
Hz sine wave output. This 115-volt signal is then applied to the a-c output filter.

The overcurrent sensing circuit monitors a rectified d-c signal
representing current output. When total inverter current output exceeds
250 percent of rated current, this circuit will illuminate an overload
lamp in 1545 seconds. If current output of any single phase exceeds
300 percent of rated current, this circuit will illuminate the overload
lamp in 5+] seconds. The AC BUS 1 OVERLOAD and AC BUS 2
OVERLOAD lamps are in the caution/warning matrix on MDC-2.
D-C power to the inverter is supplied from the main d-c buses
through the d-c line filter. The filter reduces the high frequency ripple
in the input, and the 25 to 30 volts dc is applied to two silicon-controlled
rectifiers.
The silicon-controlled rectifiers are alternately set by the 1600-Hz
signal from the magnetic amplifier to produce a d-c square wave with an
on-time of greater than 90 degrees from each rectifier, This is filtered
and supplied to the buck-boost amplifier where it is transformer-coupled
with the amplified 1600-Hz output of the magnetic amplifier, to develop
a filtered 35 volts dc which is used for amplification in the power inver-
sion stages.

The low-voltage control circuit samples the input voltage to the
inverter and can terminate inverter operation. Since the buck-boost
amplifier provides a boost action during a decrease in input voltage to the
inverter, in an attempt to maintain a constant 35 volts de to the power
inversion section and a regulated 115-volt inverter output, the high boost
required during a low-voltage input would tend to overheat the solid state
buck-boost amplifier. As a precautionary measure, the low-voltage con-
trol will terminate inverter operation by disconnecting operating voltage
to the magnetic amplifier and the first power inversion stage when input
voltage decreases to between 16 and 19 volts de.
A temperature sensor with a range of +32° to +248°F is installed in
each inverter and provides an input to the C&WS which will illuminate a
light at an inverter overtemperature of 190°F. Inverter temperature is
telemetered to MSFN.

is set off to reverse the Schmitt trigger to first stage off and second stage

in the choke decreases, current through the sensing resistor decreases,
reducing the voltage drop across the resistor. At some point, the
decrease in voltage drop across the sensing resistor reverses the
com-
parator circuit, setting up the initial condition and completing one cycle
of operation, The output load current, due to the choke action, remains
relatively constant except for the small variation through the sensing
resistor. This variation is required to set and reset the switching tran-
sistor and Schmitt trigger through the action of the comparator.
Battery charger output is regulated by the sensing resistor until
battery voltage reaches approximately 37 volts. At this point, the biased
voltage sensor circuit is unbiased, and in conjunction with the sensing
resistor provides a signal for cycling the battery charger. As battery
voltage increases, the internal impedance of the battery increases,
decreasing current flow from the charger. At 39.8 volts, the battery is
fully charged and current flow becomes negligible. (See figure 2. 6-11.)
Recharging the batteries until battery amp hour input equates amp hours
previously discharged from the battery assures sufficient battery
capacity for mission completion, The MSFN will monitor this function.
If there is no contact with the MSFN, battery charging is terminated
when the voltmeter indicates 39.5 vde with the DC INDICATORS switch
set to the BAT CHARGER position.
Charger voltage is monitored on the DC VOLTS METER (MDC -3).
Current output is monitored on the inner scale of the DC AMPS meter
(MDC -3) by placing the DC INDICATORS switch (MDC-3) to the BAT
CHARGER position. Battery charger current output is telemetered to
the MSFN,
When charging battery A or B, the respective BAT RLY BUS-
BAT A or B circuit breaker (MDC-5) is opened to expedite recharge.
During this period, only one battery will be powering the battery relay
bus. Relay bus voltage can be monitored by selecting positions 4 and B
on the Systems Test Meter (LEB-101) and from the couches by the Fuel
Cell-Main Bus B-1 and Fuel Cell - Main Bus A-3 talk back indicators
(MDC -3) which will be barber~poled. If power is lost to the relay bus,
these indicators will revert to the gray condition indicating loss of power
to the relay bus and requiring remedial action.
Recharge of a battery immediately after it is exposed to any appre-
ciable loads requires less time than recharge of a battery commencing

© Flight and postlanding bus, powered through both main d-c buses
and diodes, or directly by the three entry and postlanding bat-
teries, A, B, and C, through dual diodes.
e Flight bus, powered through both main d-c buses and isolation
diodes.
Power from the fuel cell power plants can be connected to the main
d-c buses through six motor switches (part of overload/reverse current
circuits in the SM) which are controlled by switches in the CM located on
MDC-3. Fuel cell power can be selected to either or both of the main
d-c buses. Six talk back indicators show gray when fuel cell output is
connected and striped when disconnected. When an overload condition
occurs, the overload-reverse current circuits in the SM automatically
disconnect the fuel cell power plants from the overloaded bus and provide
visual displays (talk-back indicator and caution and warning lamp illumi-
nation) (FC BUS DISCONNECT) for isolation of the trouble. A reverse
current condition will disconnect the malfunctioning power plant from the
d-c system. D-C undervoltage sensing circuits (figure 2. 6-13) are pro-
vided to indicate bus low-voltage conditions. If voltage drops below
26.25 volts d-c, the applicable d-c undervoltage light on the caution and
warning panel (MDC-2) will illuminate. Since each bus is capable of
handling all EPS loads, an undervoltage condition should not occur except
in an isolated instance; if too many electrical units are placed on the bus
simultaneously or if a malfunction exists in the EPS, A voltmeter
(MDC-3) is provided to monitor voltage of each main d-c bus, the battery
charger, and each of the five batteries. An ammeter is provided (MDC-3)
to monitor current output of fuel cells 1, 2, 3, batteries A, B, C, and
the battery charger.

are connected to the main d-c buses prior to CSM separation; placing the
MAIN BUS TIE switches (MDC-5) to BAT A/C and BAT B/C provides
this function after closing the MAIN A-BAT C and MAIN B-BAT C cir-
cuit breakers (RHEB-275). The switches are manually placed to OFF
after completion of RCS purge and closing the FLIGHT AND POST LDG-
BAT BUS A, BAT BUS B, and BAT C circuit breakers (RHEB-275)
during main chute descent. The AUTO position provides an automatic
connection of the entry batteries to the main d-c buses at CSM separation.
The auto function is used only on the launch pad after the spacecraft is
configured for a LES pad abort.
A nonessential bus, as shown on figure 2. 6-12 permits isolating
nonessential equipment during a shortage of power (two fuel cell power
plants out). The flight bus distributes power to in-flight telecommunica-
tions equipment. The flight and postlanding bus distributes power to some
of the in-flight telecommunications equipment, float bag No. 3 controls,
the ECS postlanding vent and blower control, and postlanding communica-
tions and lighting equipment. In flight, the postlanding bus receives
power from the fuel cells and/or entry and postlanding batteries through
the main d-c buses. After completion of RCS purge during main chute aay
descent, the entry batteries supply power to the postlanding bus directly
through individual circuit breakers. These circuit breakers (FLIGHT &
POST LANDING-BAT BUS A, BAT BUS B, and BAT C — RHEB-275)
are normally open in flight and closed during main chute descent just
prior to positioning the MAIN BUS TIE switches to OFF.
Motor switch contacts which close when the MAIN BUS TIE
switches are placed to ON, complete the circuit between the entry and
postlanding batteries and the main d-c buses, and open the connection
from the battery charger to the batteries. The battery relay bus provides
d-c power to the a-c sensing units, the fuel cell and inverter control cir-
cuits, fuel.cell reactant and radiator valves and the fuel cell-main BUS A
and B talk-back indicators on MDC-3. The pyrotechnic batteries supply
power to ordnance devices for separation of the LES, S-IVB, forward
heat shield, SM from CM, and for deployment and release of the drogue
and main parachutes during a pad abort, high-altitude abort, or normal
mission progression. The three fuel cell power plants supply power to
the SM jettison controllers for the SM separation maneuver.
Distribution of a-c power (figure 2. 6-15) is accomplished with a
four-wire system via two redundant buses, a-c bus 1 and a-c bus 2. The
a-c neutral bus is connected to the vehicle ground point. A-C power is
provided by one or two of the solid-state 115/200-volt 400-Hz 3-phase
inverters. D-C power is routed to the inverters through the main d-c
buses. Inverter No. 1 is powered through d-c main bus A, inverter
No. 2 through d-c main bus B, and inverter No. 3 through either d-c
main bus A or B by switch selection. Each of these circuits has a sep-
arate circuit breaker and a power control motor switch. Switches for

applying power to the motor switches are located on MDC-3. All three
inverters are identical and are provided with overtemperature circuitry.
A light indicator, in the caution/warning group on MDC-2, illuminates at
190° to indicate an overtemperature situation. Inverter output is routed
through a series of control motor switches to the a-c buses. Six switches
(MDC-3) control motor switches which operate contacts to connect or dis-
connect the inverters from the a-c buses. Inverter priority is 1 over 2,
2 over 3, and 3 over 1 on any one a-c bus. This indicates that inverter
two cannot be connected to the bus until the inverter 1 switch is positioned
to OFF. Also, when inverter 3 switch is positioned to ON, it will take
inverter 1 off the bus before inverter 3 connection will be performed. The
motor switch circuits are designed to prevent connecting two inverters to
the same a-c bus at the same time. A-C loads receive power from either
a-c bus through bus selector switches. In some instances, a single phase
is used for operation of equipment and in others all three. Over-
undervoltage and overload sensing circuits (figure 2. 6-13) are provided
for each bus. An automatic inverter disconnect is effected during an
overvoltage. A-C bus voltage fail and overload lights in the caution/
warning group (MDC-2) provide a visual indication of voltage or overload
malfunctions, Monitoring voltage of each phase on each bus is accom-
plished by selection with the AC INDICATORS switch (MDC-3). Readings
are displayed on the AC VOLTS meter (MDC-3). Phase A voltage of
each bus is telemetered to MSFN stations.

The commander's control panel (MDC-8) has a POST LANDING-
OFF-FIXED switch which connects the flight and post landing bus to his
floodlights (figure 2.6-18). The POST LANDING position provides single
intensity lighting to the commander's primary or secondary lamps as
selected by the DIM-1 or DIM-2 position respectively. It is for use dur-
ing the latter stages of descent after main d-c bus power is disconnected,
and during post landing.
2.6.7.2 Integral Lighting System.
The integral lighting system controls the EL lamps behind the
nomenclature and instrument dial faces on all MDC panels, and on
specific panels in the lower equipment bay, left hand equipment bay and
right hand equipment bay (figures 2.6-19 and 2.6-20). The controls (fig-
ure 2,6-19) are rotary switches controlling variable transformers
powered through the appropriate a-c bus. Each rotary control switch has
a mechanical stop which prevents the switch being positioned to OFF.
Disabling of a circuit because of malfunctions is performed by opening the
appropriate circuit breaker on RHEB-226. The INTEGRAL switch on
MDC-8 controls the lighting of panels viewed by the commander, MDC-1,
7, 8, 9, 15, and the left half of 2. The INTEGRAL switch on MDC-5 con-
trols the lighting of panels viewed by the LM pilot, MDC-3, 4, 5 and 6, 16,
RHEB-229 and 275, and the right half of MDC-2. The INTEGRAL switch
on LEB-100 controls the lighting of MDC-10, LEB-100, 101, 122 and the
DSKY lights on 140, RHEB-225, 226 and LHEB 306. Intensity of the
lighting can be individually controlled in each of the three areas.
2.6.7.3 Numerics Lighting System.
Numerics lighting control is provided over all electroluminescent
digital readouts. The NUMERICS rotary switch on MDC-8 controls the
off/intensity of numerals on the DSKY and Mission Timer on MDC-2, and
the range and delta V indicators of the Entry Monitor System of MDC-1.
The switch on LEB-100 controls the off/intensity of the numerals on the
LEB-140 DSKY and the Mission Timer on LHEB-306. Protection for the
integral and numerics circuits is provided by the LIGHTING-NUMERICS/
INTEGRAL-LEB AC 2, L MDC AC 1, and R MDC AC 1 circuit
breakers on RHEB-226. These circuit breakers are used to disable a
circuit in case of a malfunction, The L MDC AC 1 circuit breakers also
feed the EMS roll attitude and scroll incandescent lamps.
2.6.7.4 Tunnel Lighting.
The six light fixtures in the CM tunnel provide illumination for
tunnel activity during docking and undocking. Each of the fixtures, con-
taining two incandescent lamps, is provided 28 vde through a TUNNEL-
LIGHTS-OFF switch on MDC-2 (figure 2.6-21). Main d-c bus A
distributes power to one lamp in each fixture, and main d-c bus B to the
other lamp. Protection is provided by the LIGHTING/COAS/TUNNEL/
RNDZ/SPOT MN A and MN B circuit breakers on RHEB-226,
