Assessment of short and medium term improvements to the Spacelab power system. Volume 1: Executive summary
Abstract
The results of a study for the improvement of Spacelab's baseline electrical power and distribution system (EPDS) are presented. Three technical areas are covered. These are improvement of baseline-EPDS hardware, the introduction of an additional power source for experiment power augmentation, and the replacement of the baseline EPDS 3 phase 400 Hz ac distribution system by a medium frequency (10 to 20 KHz) ac power distribution system. The improvements include a dc/ac inverter, an experiment power switching panel, a power control box, harness improvements, a medium frequency ac power system, dc/ac medium frequency inversion, and medium frequency ac power distribution, switching, and protection.
