Abstract
A system is described. The system comprises: a first power supply; a second power supply; and a power distribution module. The power distribution module is operable to determine one or more electric faults and protect one or more loads against the one or more electric faults. The power distribution module is further operable to switch between the first power supply and the second power supply, and vice versa, to provide an uninterrupted power output.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a first power supply;
- a second power supply;
- and
- a power distribution module;
- wherein the power distribution module is operable to determine one or more electric faults and protect one or more loads from the one or more electric faults;
- and
- wherein the power distribution module is operable to switch between the first power supply and the second power supply, and vice versa, to provide an uninterrupted power output.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a power distribution module, whether an input power to the power distribution module is a voltage intended to be supplied to the power distribution module;
- preventing, by the power distribution module, the input power from flowing to one or more loads in response to the input power being different than the voltage intended to be supplied to the power distribution module;
- and
- switching, by the power distribution module, from a first power supply to a second power supply to provide an uninterrupted power output.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a power distribution module, cause the processor to:
- determine whether an input power to the power distribution module is a voltage intended to be supplied to the power distribution module;
- preventing the input power from flowing to one or more loads in response to the input power being different than the voltage intended to be supplied to the power distribution module;
- and
- switching from a first power supply to a second power supply to provide an uninterrupted power output.
