  • Power distribution system for aircraft
    Patent number: 11121557
    Abstract: A power distribution system is disclosed for conducting electrical power through a combination of hollow tube conductors and flexible cabling. Each hollow tube conductor includes an end formed into flat pads. The flexible cabling comprises litz wire, and includes ends crimped to integral lugs. An end of the flexible cabling is coupled to an end of the hollow tube conductor. The other end of the flexible cabling is coupled to an electric device. The other end of the hollow tube conductor is coupled to another flexible cable, which is in turn coupled to another electric device. By connecting the hollow tube conductors, flexible cabling, and electrical devices in this way, an electrically conductive pathway may be established between the electrical devices. The power distribution system conducts alternating current (AC) power, and addresses the skin effect phenomenon that occurs when conducting AC power.
