In alternative embodiments, the CF contactors 350 may be solid state (semiconductor) elements such as bi-polar junction transistors (BJTs) or MOSFETs. In some such embodiments, an exemplary A-PS may be implemented as an integrated circuit (IC).
Above, exemplary embodiments of the present system have been presented with exemplary components of various power, current, and/or voltage ratings, for example 1.7 kV switches and 10 kV switches. Other power/current/voltage ratings may be employed within the scope of the appended claims.
Power Stages and A-PEBB LRUs: In exemplary embodiments presented above in this document, an exemplary A-PEBB LRU 200.A includes two adaptable power stages A-PS 300, each of which may be substantially similar in internal design. Persons skilled in the relevant arts will appreciate that in alternative embodiments of the present system and method, an A-PEBB LRU 200.A may include only one, only two, or three or more adaptable power stages A-PS 300. Similarly, in alternative embodiments of the present system and method, an A-PEBB LRU 200.A may include one, two, or three or more adaptable power stages A-PS 300, some of which or each of which may differ in some respects from the exemplary A-PS 300 discussed above in this document.
