Abstract :
The design philosophies of an electrical load management center (ELMC) for military platforms and the advantages and features made possible only through the use of real-time solid-state power controllers (SSPCs) are discussed. Computer control of power distribution systems will be required to off-load crews and increase system reliability, with improved fault handling, while also protecting the wire and load. The electrical, mechanical, and special competitive features of the SSPC series, the military screening and mechanical specifications, and other product options are highlighted.<>
