Abstract
An electrical power distribution method and apparatus are disclosed, the apparatus comprising a first power distribution member section receiving electrical power from a power supply and a second high resistivity power distribution member section, electrically connected to the first section for supplying the electrical power to an electrical device in electrical communication with the high resistivity section.
Claims18
An electrical power distribution apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a first low resistivity power distribution member section for receiving electrical power from an alternating current power supply, wherein the first power distribution member section provides a first current path for lower frequency currents;
- and
- a second high resistivity power distribution member section for receiving alternating current electrical power from the power supply, wherein the second high resistivity power distribution member section has a resistivity higher than the first power distribution member section and is electrically connected to the first power distribution member section for supplying the electrical power to an electrical device, wherein the second power distribution member provides a second current path for higher frequency currents;
- wherein the second high resistivity power distribution member section comprises a center section and the first section comprises a low resistivity outer member surrounding the center member, wherein the low resistivity member forms an inductor around the center member so that the low resistivity member presents a high reactance to high frequency currents substantially higher than 50-60 Hz, so that the high frequency currents pass through the second high resistivity power distribution member section and experience a current reducing voltage loss.
