Patent ID: 6984965

Claim:
A method of distributing power from an input source to a load, where the load may vary over a normal operating range, comprising: using a first regulator module (RM) having an RM input and an RM output and being a self-contained assembly adapted to be installed as a unit at a first location to convert power from the input source at a source voltage, V source , and deliver a controlled DC voltage, V f , to a factorized bus; using a voltage transformation module (“VTM”) having a VTM input and a VTM output and being a self-contained assembly adapted to be installed as a unit at the a remote location to convert power, via a transformer, from the factorized bus at a VTM input voltage V in , to deliver a VTM output voltage, V out , at an output current, I out , the VTM having an essentially constant voltage gain, K, an output resistance, R out , and a transfer function essentially equal to V out =K (V in )−R out (I out ); and wherein the load is supplied with a voltage, V load , essentially equal to the VTM output voltage, V out , and the VTM output voltage, V out , is regulated by the first regulator controlling the factorized bus voltage, V f .
