Abstract:
1. A power backplane system for routing power to and from an electrical power component, the system comprising: a mechanical support panel; a first power routing layer including a plurality of bus conductors extending generally parallel to the support panel and a first isolating layer for insulating the bus conductors from other elements of the system; a second power routing layer disposed over the first power routing layer and including a plurality of distribution conductors electrically connected to the bus conductors and a second isolating layer for insulating the distribution conductors from other elements of the system, the distribution conductors being configured to be electrically coupled to the electrical power component; and a component support layer disposed over the second power routing layer and including at least one mechanical support for the electrical power component, the component support layer including passages for electrically coupling the electrical power component to the distribution conductors, the component support layer being mechanically secured to the mechanical support panel to at least partially enclose the first and second power routing layers therebetween.
