摘要： A power distribution system includes the use of a master digital signal processor (DSP) and two slave DSPs connected to the master DSP. The slaves DSPs may be connected to each of a plurality of solid state power channels (SSPC) controlling power distribution functions to each of the channels. A power control strategy may use one power supply for the master DSP, a second power supply shared between the slave DSPs, and a third power supply shared between each of the SSPC channels.

摘要： High-power power distribution in an aircraft may use solid state power controller (SSPC) technology. A conventional electromechanical contactor may be used, in series, with a solid state switching device (SSSD) to achieve high-power power distribution. Since the electromechanical contactor does not need to be rated for arc handlings during normal SSPC operation, the electromechanical contactor may be simplified, resulting in cost, weight, volume, and failure rate reductions. The power distribution apparatus and methods of the present invention may be applicable for both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) applications and can be modified to form a three phase SSPC.

摘要： An electrical power distribution system for a vehicle may provide from alternate sources of power to an electrical load. Two solid state power contactors (SSPC's) may provide connectivity paths between two power sources and the equipment. The SSPC's may be interconnected so that power to the load is provided on a first connectivity path between a first source of power and the load, unless and until a power interruption occurs on the first path. In the event of power interruption, the SSPC's actuate a second connectivity path between a second source of power and the load. Transfer of power sources may occur in a time period that is less than an equipment transparency time of the load.

摘要： Pre-charge circuitry allows capacitive loads connected to a solid state power controller to be gradually charged up by a PWM, generated with a cycle by cycle current limit, switching a single MOSFET in series with an inductor, before the SSPC is turned on. The pre-charge circuitry may require only three additional components, e.g., a MOSFET, an inductor and a diode, along with a designated MOSFET gate driver.

摘要： An electrical distribution control system for a vehicle such as an aircraft may be provided fire-suppression protection without requiring that all control elements are located in a fire-containment enclosure. A primary electric load center (ECL) may be located in a fire-containment equipment bay. Secondary power control centers (SPC's) may be located away from the equipment bay and close to set of loads which are controlled by the SPC's. Each SPC may be provided with a fire detecting sensor that may signal the ECL to interrupt input power to the SPC in the event of a fire in the SPC. The SPC may be constructed from self-extinguishing material. In an absence of input power to the SPC, a fire may self extinguish, thus preventing flame propagation or production of excessive external heat.
