MIL-DTL-29183C
3.8.10.4 Wiring identification. All wire conductors within the distribution panel shall be
marked for identification. The identification shall include a circuit number, if applicable, and the
function, including phase A, phase B, phase C, N, or G. Conductors connected between the
terminals of connectors and the circuit breakers shall be further identified by the color code of the
conductor as specified in the applicable specification sheet. Color code bands may be used on the
conductor ends in lieu of colored conductors.
3.8.11 Circuits. All single-phase circuits shall be distributed between the three phases in
such a manner to maintain load balance as close as possible.
3.8.11.1 Circuit breaker. The circuit breakers shall be of the molded case, thermal-
magnetic type having the number of poles, current rating, and voltage rating as specified in the
applicable specification sheet. The circuit breakers shall conform to W-C-375 and UL 489.
Circuit breaker interrupt capacity shall be 14,000 amperes symmetrical minimum.
3.8.11.1.1 Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) breakers. All single-pole, 15 ampere
and 20 ampere rated, 120 V, 60 Hz, single-phase circuit breakers shall be the GFCI type and shall
conform to UL 943.
3.8.11.2 Circuit identification. The circuit breakers and corresponding circuit receptacles
or interface connectors shall be identified by the same permanently affixed and permanently
legible identification scheme. The identification shall include the circuit number, current rating,
circuit voltage, and phase identification. Phase identification shall be single-phase, or 3-phase, as
applicable, and the actual phase(s) connected to the circuit, that is, for single-phase: phase A, B,
C, AB, BC, or CA. The identification shall be placed on the visible side of the circuit breaker
panel adjacent to the circuit receptacle or interface connector.
3.8.12 Connectors. All connectors shall conform to the requirements specified in the
applicable specification sheet. For receptacle and plug type connectors, the connector and its
shell housing shall be capable of forming a watertight joint at the junction where the mating plug
or cover is attached to the connector and secured in place. Connectors shall be located on the
lower, inward sloping face portion of the sides of the distribution panel. The configuration of the
connectors shall be such that the quantity, kind, and arrangement of connectors on one side shall
be the same, or as nearly the same as possible, as the connector configuration on the other side.
The connectors shall be arranged so that the distribution panel will remain in a balanced upright
position when being lifted, in order to comply with the requirements of 3.9. For receptacle and
plug type connectors, waterproofing gaskets shall be used between the connector and the
distribution panel.
3.8.12.1 Connector terminal wiring. NEMA type connectors and military type connectors
conforming to MIL-C-22992, class L type only, shall be wired in accordance with the applicable
specification sheet wire termination table.
