Embodiment Construction

[0110] The following detailed description relates to a vehicle having a modular equipment center to increase vehicle system redundancy, while also distributing modular equipment centers (MECs) throughout the vehicle so as to minimize the line weight of required line connections and quantity to reduce total vehicle weight and production time. The present invention is capable of many different forms of embodiment. This document is not intended to limit the principles of the invention to the particular disclosed embodiments. References made below to a direction (eg, "front", "rear", "left", and "right") are made from looking forward from the back of the vehicle. In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof and which are shown by way of illustration of specific embodiments or examples. Referring now to the drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like elements throughout the several figures, various aspects of the...

Abstract

A solid state primary power switching network for modular equipment centers (MECs) distributing primary power throughout a vehicle. The solid state primary power switching network includes multiple primary power switch network devices (PPSNDs) of a MEC for controlling and distributing primary power to other MECs spatially distribute throughout a vehicle. In one or more configurations, the PPSNDs have a universal structure in that each includes a common power input source and a plurality of common power outputs. In one or more configurations, primary power sources to the vehicle are switched without a perceivably visible break in power.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of embodiments presented herein is directed toward modular vehicle mechanisms, and more particularly, toward power switching within distributed power and data aircraft structures. Background technique [0002] Most commercial aircraft have one or more centralized equipment mounts for housing power and communications equipment. Power and data self-centralized equipment bases are distributed throughout the aircraft to control all functions within the aircraft. The centralized equipment bases are displaced from one another across one or more segment discontinuities within the aircraft. Typically, one centralized equipment base is in the forward section and the other centralized equipment base is within the aft section of the aircraft. [0003] A generator driven by the main propulsion engine generates three-phase primary power for the aircraft. Primary power is routed first to the rear equipment base, and then through the aircraft to the fron...
