DOD-STD-2146

Abstract

This standard covers the requirements for the design of d.c generators and motors (machines) that will minimize the stray magnetic field emanated by the generators and motors. <br>This standard applies specifically to the design of magnetic minesweeping generators since they generate large output currents and are used in minesweepers that will pass over magnetic-influence mines. Consequently, they must produce as small a stray magnetic field as possible, in order to minimize the danger of detonating a mine under the minesweeper. The requirements of this standard also apply to the design of any d.c. motor or generator for which a small stray magnetic field is an important consideration. <br>This standard shall be used in conjunction with the requirements of technical specifications and standards for a specific d.c. generator or motor. In the event that any design features of this standard (see <a>4.2.1</a> and <a>4.2.2</a>) conflict with the requirements of other technical specifications and standards for the generator or motor, the design requirements of this standard shall apply.
