Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A DC power distribution system and method includes a solid state remote power controller that connects a switching power source to a DC bus when the DC bus is switching power sources thereby providing a nearly uninterrupted power supply to the DC bus.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for minimal interruption power source switching comprising the steps of: disconnecting a first power source from a DC bus, thereby removing power from said DC bus; connecting a second power source to said DC bus, thereby providing power to said DC bus; monitoring at least one power characteristics of the DC bus and a plurality of DC bus inputs; determining if a fault condition is present on the DC bus by comparing a DC bus voltage to a low vol…
