Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This power supply controller for an electrical energy distribution network comprises an electronic power card on which power modules are fitted and on which a set of at least one control module is fitted to control the power modules. The electronic card comprises control buses positioned between the control modules and power module fitting locations on which power modules are fitted according to the use of the controller, to form an electronic power card specific to a use of the power supply controller.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . Power supply controller for an electrical energy distribution network, comprising an electronic power card ( 5 ) on which power modules ( 9 ) are fitted and on which a set of at least one control module ( 6 - 1 , 6 - 2 , 6 - 3 , 6 - 4 ) for controlling the control modules is fitted, characterized in that the electronic card comprises power buses positioned between the control modules and power module fitting locations on which power modules are fitted selectively according to the use of the controller, to form an electronic power card specific to a use of the power supply controller. 2 . Controller according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic power card comprises first locations for the connection of power modules connected by three power supply buses to a control module for supplying a three-phase load or three single-phase loads, and second locations for the connection of power modules dedicated to the single-phase supply of a load and connected by a single bus to a control module. 3 . Controller according to claim 1 , wherein each of the connection locations is dedicated to a different cut-out calibration. 4 . Power supply controller according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic card comprises means for recognizing the power modules when they are fitted on the connection locations, the connection of a load to the power module being controlled according to the nature of the power modules. 5 . Controller according to claim 4 , wherein the recognition means comprise means for decoding a code for each connecting pin of the power modules. 6 . Controller according to claim 1 , characterized in that it forms an electricity distribution network controller for an aircraft. 7 . Method for manufacturing a power supply controller for an electrical energy distribution network, characterized in that one or more power modules are selectively connected to fitting locations of an electronic card on which a set of at least one control module for controlling the power modules is fitted, the card comprising control buses positioned between the control modules and the power module fitting locations, to form an electronic power card specific to a use of the power supply controller.
