Application: Modular power supply (Patent ID: US20230349984A1)
The patent filed by BAE Systems Plc describes a power supply system that includes an I/O module receiving high voltage DC input and outputting high voltage DC, along with DC converter modules and AC inverter modules that convert the high voltage DC to low voltage DC and high voltage AC, respectively. These modules are mounted in individual chassis that can be stacked together into a single line replaceable unit (LRU) with identically shaped outer frames, allowing for easy maintenance and replacement.
The power supply system also features a high voltage backbone connecting the modules to deliver the necessary power inputs, as well as a controller area network (CAN) bus for transmitting control signals. The method outlined in the patent involves configuring the modules and chassis, mounting circuit card assemblies, and establishing the high voltage backbone and CAN bus connections. The individual connectors in the high voltage backbone are designed to stack together in a line replaceable unit, ensuring efficient and modular power distribution within the system.
