Abstract
A low-voltage direct current power distribution system pools power from multiple direct current inputs simultaneously into a single output using solid-state components. The system utilizes silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors configured as active diodes to sum independent direct current power sources, enabling configurable redundancy models at the load level. If an upstream power source experiences a fault, the system detects reverse current flow and isolates the fault in microseconds. This approach allows load balancing through resistive droop sharing and provides uninterrupted power delivery without switching transients.
