Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control module circuit having a circuit communication input port, a circuit communication output port, a first controllable unit that has a first controller module, and a second controllable unit having a second controller module. The first controller module has a first communication input port connected with the circuit communication input port and a first communication output port. The second controller module has a second communication input port connected with the first communication output port and a second communication output port connected with the circuit communication output port. The first and second controllable units are adapted to be identified with a permanent identity by way of a transmittable data signal receivable at the communication input port and sequentially received by the first and second controllable units.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting arc faults in a circuit having a switch (28), including a leakage current management device (46), an arc fault detector (30) arranged to monitor output voltage and to send a signal representative of the output voltage, and a controller (36) coupled to the arc fault detector (30). The controller (36) is configured to monitor the output voltage signal, compare the output to a threshold, and if the output exceeds the threshold, provide an arc fault indication.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses for electrically switching current include a first conductor formed of an electrically conductive material and having a first longitudinal axis; a second conductor formed of the electrically conductive material and having a second longitudinal axis; a set of switching components, each component selectively configured to electrically couple the first conductor to the second conductor; and a printed circuit board on which the first and second conductors are disposed. The width of the first conductor along the first longitudinal axis varies such that the current density in the first conductor is substantially constant along the first longitudinal axis and the width of the second conductor along the second longitudinal axis varies such that the current density in the second conductor is substantially constant along the second longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A circuit to mitigate arc failures in an electrical power distribution system can include a solid state distribution system connected to a source of power and to a load, a solid state power controller (SSPC) having a set of field effect transistors (FETs) responsive to command signals from the SSPC wherein an arc in a wire bond of a failed FET can trigger a predetermined sequence to quench the arc and isolate remaining wire bond material in the failed FET from contaminating a creepage path.
