"SAFELY UNPLUG A FULL POWER PAYLOAD IN A DIRECT CURRENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM"
Abstract
A DC (Direct Current) distribution system can be used to safely unplug a full power payload of a high power payload tray by sequentially ramping down electric current at the high power payload tray. The high power payload tray connects at full power to a power source, and the DC distribution system determines if the high power payload tray starts to disconnect from the power source. If disconnection starts, then the system gradually ramps down the current at the high power payload tray. If the disconnection does not start, then the system again checks if the high power payload tray starts to disconnect from the power source.
