Power Distribution

power-distribution-control-sub1Radiant Power Corp’s Power Distribution and Control System (PD&C) provides advantages in managing DC power and monitoring aircraft functions. It does so with extreme reliability and safety. The system is comprehensive, flexible, and easily expandable. This system provides the operator complete visibility and control of the aircraft’s electrical system from any control screen, but also provides remote monitoring of alarm functions, battery, engine and generator data. The system may be easily expanded with additional features and software upgrades.

There is no more lack of awareness with secondary system circuit breaker trips. Audible alarms may be assigned to circuit breakers as desired. Load shedding and automatic placement back online can be programmed into the system for DC, should current usage reach higher than desired levels. The ability to reset a tripped DC circuit breaker is immediate. The possibilities and benefits in power management and monitoring are virtually endless.

The results are lower wire harnessing costs, lower labor installation costs, and significant weight savings.

The Radiant Power Corp’s power management system provides protection from obsolescence as the capabilities of the system may be subsequently enhanced with future software updates and installation of new components as they become available.
