Problems solved by technology

[0003] Unfortunately, each switch in a network with many independent switches may need to be custom designed, thus adding cost and complexity
In addition, each switch may require at least two high-current connector terminals to connect the switch control elements, and each connector terminal presents a risk to network reliability if a terminal fails

Embodiment Construction

[0036] figure 1 A power grid 30 is shown, which includes a plurality of elements 32 connectable via at least two switchable branches 34. The at least two switchable branches 34 can each selectively connect at least one of the plurality of elements 32 to one of the plurality of network nodes 36. Each network node 36 may be defined as a place where two or more switchable branches 34 electrically intersect. E.g, figure 1 Ten switchable branches 34 connecting multiple elements 32 through a network node 36 are shown. Each element 32 may be a power source, such as a left or right generator 50, a battery 52, or a secondary power source 54. Each element 32 may also be a load, such as a left main load or right main load 40, a left secondary load or right secondary load 42, or a left starter or right starter 44. Each of the switchable branches 34 can be implemented as an independent single-pole switch or a multi-pole switch, depending on the number of conductors switched by the switcha...

Abstract

The invention provides a switch module. The switch module includes a first single-throw switch having a first input terminal switchable to a common terminal. A second single-throw switch has a secondinput terminal switchable to the common terminal. A first controller is coupled to the first single-throw switch and a second controller is coupled to the second single-throw switch. The first and second controllers are configured to independently control, respectively, the first and second single-throw switches.

Description

Technical field [0001] This application relates to the field of high current technology, and in particular to a high current switch module related to aircraft. Background technique [0002] High-current power grids, such as the main system in an aircraft electrical system, can use a separate single-throw switch for each switchable branch connecting the components in the network. The single throw switch can deliver tens or hundreds of amperes of current from one or more power sources to various necessary or unnecessary loads in the network. Each switch can usually be connected with a connector and / or rack mounted. [0003] Unfortunately, each switch in a network with many independent switches may need to be designed according to customer needs, thus increasing cost and complexity. In addition, each switch may need to use at least two high-current connector terminals to connect the switch control element, and if the terminals fail, each connector terminal may cause a risk in networ...
