摘要:
A printed wiring board (PWB) includes a substrate having first and second opposing surfaces and a busbar coupled to the substrate. The busbar includes a power input connector and a cross-sectional dimension configured and disposed to carry at least 100 amperes. At least one semiconductor device is mounted to the busbar. The at least one semiconductor device includes an input electrically coupled to the busbar and an output. One or more output conductors are electrically coupled to the output of the at least one semiconductor device. The one or more output conductors include a cross-sectional dimension configured and disposed to carry at least 50 amperes.

A solid state switch module is provided for use in a power distribution network including an input differential protection connection for receiving a measured current value from an upstream module. The solid state switch module also includes an output differential protection connection for sending a measured current value. The solid state switch module includes a trip outlet for sending a trip signal to an upstream solid state switch, and a trip inlet for receiving a trip signal from a downstream solid state switch. The trip inlet is operably coupled to the switch. A current sensor measures the current value of a connected power transmission line across the solid state switch module. A summer adds a current input from a parallel module with the current measures by the current sensor. A comparator determines whether an amount of current lost between the solid state switch module and an upstream module is acceptable.

摘要:
An electrical fuse apparatus comprises a conductor element defining an electrically conductive path between respective wire terminals for connecting the fuse apparatus to an electrical circuit. The conductor element includes a first reactive material and at least one ignition point for receiving external energy to initiate an exothermic reaction of the first reactive material with a second reactive material. The reaction generates a quantity of heat sufficient to melt the conductor and break the conductive path. The fuse can be an element in electrical circuits, including power controllers. A method for protecting a system using an exothermic fuse apparatus is also disclosed.
