Abstract:
Various embodiments herein relate to power distribution networks for optically switchable windows. A number of different topologies are provided. In many embodiments, a control panel may be connected with a trunk line, which is connected to a plurality of optically switchable windows. The plurality of optically switchable windows may be powered by the shared trunk line. This topology provides substantial improvements over topologies in which each optically switchable window is connected to the control panel via separate, individual lines. Further, certain embodiments herein relate to installation kits for installing power distribution networks for optically switchable windows.

Claim (Index 1):
A power distribution network for providing power to multiple optically switchable windows in a building, the power distribution network comprising:\n a control panel comprising one or more power supplies electrically connected to a main power supply for the building, and one or more ports connected to the one or more power supplies such that the power supplies provide power to the one or more ports, wherein the power from the power supplies is suitable for the power distribution network to provide power to at least some of the optically switchable windows and drive optical transitions of those optically switchable windows; at least one power insert line or trunk line connected to a port of the control panel and extending toward the multiple optically switchable windows, wherein the power insert line or trunk line comprises a cable for supplying power to the multiple optically switchable windows, wherein the trunk line comprises a plurality of conductors and is connected to multiple drop lines, wherein each drop line is configured to provide power from the trunk line to one or more optically switchable windows; and a plurality of connectors between the multiple drop lines and the trunk line, wherein each connector provides an electrical path between the trunk line and its respective drop line in a manner that does not sever the conductors of the trunk line.
