Mark,
I'm unclear as what you're referring to when you mention high voltage AC, the main and auxiliary generators produce Direct Current, in order to charge the batteries and run the main motors without the need for any conversion.
The pumps should be supplied from the Forward Auxiliary Switchboard, the
Pampanito virtual tour has this to say about the board:
Quote:
Forward Auxiliary Switchboard: Located forward of the I.C. Switchboard on the starboard side [of the con]. This supplies 250 VDC to the many auxiliary motors in the forward half of the submarine. The auxiliary motors operate compressors, pumps, heaters, blowers and other high power equipment. It is supplied by the forward battery, auxiliary engine, or through a bus tie from the after battery.
