Abstract:
A method and apparatus for modular power distribution includes an end module and at least one switching module having a switching module electrical power interface configured to electrically connect to at least one of the end module electrical power interface or another switching module electrical power interface, and having at least one of a switching element, an input/output connector, a switching module communication interface, or a bus bar connector, wherein the modules are physically secured.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of distributing power in an aircraft, the method comprising;\n connecting at least one first end module having at least one of an end module communication interface, a power supply, or a processor to a at least one switching module having a switching module electrical power interface and having at least one of a switching element, an input/output connector, a switching module communication interface, or a bus bar connector by connecting the end module communication interface to the switching module communication interface; connecting the at least one switching module to at least one other switching module having another switching module electrical power interface and having at least one of a switching element, an input/output connector, a switching module communication interface, or a bus bar connector by connecting the switching electrical power interface to the other switching module electrical power interface; connecting at least one second end module to the at least one other switching module; physically attaching in one or two axes the at least one first end module to the at least one switching module, and the at least one switching module to the at least one other switching module, and the at least one other switching module to the at least one second end module by way of an attachment interface; and connecting the at least one switching module to a power source.
