Abstract: A matrix assembly is provided for an electrical system such as, for example, a power distribution unit for an aircraft. The electrical system includes an enclosure and a number of current carrying components such as, for example, electrical bus members, electrical switching apparatus, and/or fuses. The matrix assembly includes a matrix member having a generally planar portion, a plurality of attachment points for attaching the current carrying components to the generally planar portion, and a plurality of mounting points for attaching the generally planar portion to a thermally conductive structure such as, for example, an aluminum airframe structure. The matrix member is a thermally conductive liquid crystalline polymer. In addition to providing dielectric insulation, the matrix member also effectively transfers heat away from the current carrying components to the aluminum airframe structure, thereby reducing the temperature and corresponding electrical resistance within the electrical system and improving performance.

Abstract: An improved bus apparatus includes a generally rigid substrate and a conductor apparatus. The conductor apparatus includes a number of bus elements that are embedded within the substrate and which are electrically connected with connection elements that each have an end that is situated external to the substrate. Additional connection elements extend through the substrate and are connectable with loads. Circuit interrupters and other devices are connectable with pairs of the connector elements, wherein one connector element is connected with a line and wherein another connector element is connected with a load. The bus apparatus is formed by receiving the bus elements in channels formed in layers of a thermally conductive and electrically insulative material, and the layers are bonded together with the use of a bonding material to cause the bus elements to become laminated within the interior of the substrate.
