Abstract

TRW has developed several hi-power electronic unit components for the Space Station Power Management and Distribution Test Bed at NASA Lewis Research Center. These components include a 12.5 kW dc-dc converter, 6.25 kW battery charge/discharge regulator, 82-channel solar array switching unit, 10 ampere remote power controllers, and three different types of 1 kW load converters. TRW is also monitoring the development of 120-volt fuses for space applications (located at the Mepcopal Co. in San Diego). This paper discusses the original developments and the latest test data from NASA LeRC. Steady state and dynamic performance parameters are outlined in the attached figures.
