Primary & Secondary Power Distribution Technology Overview

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides a technical overview of primary and secondary power distribution technologies developed by Avionic Instruments, LLC and Acme Aerospace Inc. It includes proprietary information on smart power distribution systems, specifically focusing on the Integrated Power Distribution Unit (IPDU) and the Mission Switching Unit (MSU).
Smart Power Distribution:
  • IPDU – Integrated Power Distribution Unit: Handles secondary power distribution with a 100A Transformer Rectifier Unit (TRU) and 28 channels of Solid State Power Controllers (SSPCs) programmable via ARINC429. It is controlled by a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and is qualified for use.
  • MSU – Mission Switching Unit: Manages primary power distribution, distributing power to mission system loads from four different power sources: VFG2, VFG3, Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), and External Power. It complements sub-system providers with power conversion, distribution, and battery solutions.
Applications and Markets:
  • Primary and secondary power distribution for both AC and DC power-based aircraft at the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and completion levels.
  • Serves markets including military fighters and trainers, commercial and military transport aircraft, commercial and military helicopters, and business and regional jet aircraft.
Technical Specifications:
  • Power Sources: VFG2 and VFG3 each provide 40KVA, APU provides 45KVA, and External Power provides 80KVA.
  • Mission Bus Configuration: Two mission buses each with 20 Amp and 70 Amp channels.
  • AC Power Specifications: 3-phase, 115V Line-to-Neutral, 324-596Hz with varying amp capacities (115 Amp, 130 Amp, 230 Amp).
Mechanical Layout: The document includes a review of the mechanical layout, detailing output connectors and AC breakers for VFG2, VFG3, and APU.
