  • Patent number: 5541830
    Abstract: Dc aerospace power supplies include neutral point controllers to interconnect primary or secondary windings of the supplies into wye connected primary or secondary circuits. In power supplies having neutral point controllers in the primary circuits, the power supplies may alternately or in addition have first and second compound wye connected secondary circuits having a separate or common neutral point.

  • Patent number: 5386147
    Abstract: An aerospace power control system switches an aerospace load from a faulty ac power bus to a good ac power bus of two or more ac power buses if the currently connected ac power bus is about to fail. The voltage level and frequency of the power provided on the buses are monitored to determine which of the power buses are within required limits to provide power to the aerospace load. If monitoring of the currently connected ac power bus indicates that the bus is not within the required limits and may be shut down in the immediate future, the connection of the aerospace load is switched to another ac power bus which is within the required limits. The current provided to the load is monitored to determine zero-crossing points of the current with the switch from the currently connected faulty bus to a good bus being performed at a zero-crossing point of the load current. The level of the current being provided to the aerospace load is also monitored to detect a faulty load condition.
