Abstract
A method and aircraft power distribution system includes a power distribution bus supplying power along an electrical line, a primary communication module including a primary transceiver and a primary controller, and a plurality of secondary communication modules including a secondary transceiver communicatively coupled to the primary transceiver and a secondary controller communicatively coupled to the secondary transceiver.
Claims20
A circuit breaker module for an aircraft power distribution system, comprising:
- a power input configured to receive power and data from a power distribution bus;
- a power output configured to supply at least power to a load;
- a transceiver configured for signal communication with a primary controller in the aircraft power distribution system by way of the power distribution bus;
- a circuit breaker comprising a power switch coupled with the power input and the power output and operable between a closed state wherein the power output is connected to the power input, and an open state wherein the power output is disconnected from the power input;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled with the circuit breaker and the transceiver, the controller configured to operate the power switch based on a controller signal received by the transceiver from the primary controller.
