Bohemia, New York (December 2010) Data Device Corporation (DDC) introduces a new compact (6.3 in X 4.6 in), multi-channel Solid-State Power Controller card for 28VDC applications. The device has the capability to distribute and control power to four independent 75 Amp subsystems, and can parallel channels up to 300 Amps.
The primary role of Solid-State Power Controllers is protection of wiring harnesses and electrical loads. Solid-State Power Controllers provide many performance and reliability advantages over electromechanical circuit breakers, and the RP-26300 further expands those advantages for high-current applications by offering reduced weight, volume and power dissipation. The RP-26300 features mission critical capabilities such as remote monitoring of load current and voltage over an SAE J1939 compatible CAN Bus interface. Other features include programmable trip level per channel, power-up defaults and battle override.
The RP-26300 provides advanced power control to:
- Protect wiring harnesses and equipment
- Support Load Shedding with Automated Power Control
- Simplify Maintenance with Diagnostic and Prognostic Data
- Improve System Safety, Reliability, and Longevity
“The RP-26300 has the current handling capacity for high-power applications, and the advanced solid-state power control technology to extend mission safety and longevity by providing automated power control, and real-time feedback to vehicle management systems”, stated Steve Rood Goldman, DDC’s High-Speed Networking Marketing Manager.
