  • Publication number: 20240128736
    Abstract: An aircraft solid state power controller comprises a feed node to be electrically connected to a primary electric power supply; a load node to be electrically connected to at least one electric load; and at least one electric switching device, in particular a solid state switching device, which is arranged between the feed node and the load node. The at least one electric switching device is switchable between an on-state, in which the at least one electric switching device provides a low-resistive electric connection between the feed node and the load node; and an off-state, in which the at least one electric switching device electrically isolates the load node from the feed node.

  • Patent number: 8928185
    Abstract: A solid-state power distribution system having a first solid-state switching device (SSSD) and a second solid-state switching device (SSSD) for distributing power from an AC power source to a load includes a leakage current reduction circuit for reducing leakage current generated by the SSSDs when Off. When the first and second SSSDs are Off, the leakage current reduction circuit provides a positive bias voltage across controlled terminals of the first SSSD and a negative bias voltage across controlled terminals of the second SSSD.
