Thermionic power converters impose unique operating requirements upon a power management and distribution (PMAD) system design. Single thermionic converters supply large currents at very low voltages. Operating voltages can vary over a range of up to 3 to 1 as a function of operating temperature. Most spacecraft loads require regulated 28-volts direct-current (Vdc) power. A combination of series-connected converters and power-processing boosters is required to deliver power to the spacecraft's payloads at this level. 2, record 1, English, - power%20management%20and%20distribution%20system
