DETECTING POWER LINE DISCONTINUITIES TO PROTECT AGAINST ARC FAULTS

원문 (중국어)

An apparatus may include a solid-state power controller (SSPCs), a pulse generator, a feedback detector, and a microcontroller. The SSPC may be configured to output power from a power source to an aircraft electrical load. The pulse generator may be configured to generate a pulse through the SSPC. The pulse feedback detector may be configured to detect a response pulse from the generated pulse reflected from the aircraft electrical load, wherein the pulse feedback detector may be operably coupled to a power output of the SSPC. The microcontroller may be configured to trip the SSPC when the response pulse detected by a corresponding pulse feedback detector operably coupled to the SSPC is determined to be abnormal.
