INDUCTIVE POWER SUPPLY

摘要

A modular truss assembly for mechanically and electrically mounting system components of a modular equipment center (MEC 44, 46, 48). A plurality of MECs is spatially distributed throughout the vehicle (10) to service equipment loads. The modular truss assembly (13) provides different voltage levels for powering the system components of the MEC and for powering the equipment loads. In one or more configurations, a MEC incorporate inductive power coupling for powering a line replaceable unit (LRU 52) in proximity to the modular truss assembly without exposed electrical connections and such that the MEC may forgo power conversion equipment. In one or more configurations, a sensor is embedded in one or more transfer layers of the truss for measuring a power trace embedded in the modular truss assembly.
