Abstract:
1. A distributed electrical power system, comprising: a first AC generator configured for supplying an AC electrical voltage; a second AC generator configured for supplying the AC electrical voltage; an AC power distribution network connected to the first AC generator and the second AC generator for receiving the AC electrical voltage, the AC power distribution network including one of a two and four-wire AC power distribution circuit; at least one power distribution module remotely located for receiving the AC electrical voltage from the power distribution network; a system controller connected to a data bus for controlling operation of the at least one power distribution module; and at least one contactor electrically connected between the at least one power distribution module and each of the first AC generator and the second AC generator for selectively switching supply of the AC electrical voltage to the at least one power distribution module from one of the first AC generator and the second AC generator upon failure of either one of the first AC generator and the second AC generator.
