The power management and distribution subsystem distributes the power at 160 volts DC around the station through a series of continuous duty, DC [Direct Current] contactor switchgear. The switchgear has built-in microprocessors, controlled by Ada software and connected to a data bus running throughout the station. DC-DC converter units stepdown and condition the voltage from 160 to 120 volts DC to form a secondary power system to service the loads through solid-state switchgear. The converters also provide isolation of the secondary from the primary system and maintain uniform power quality throughout the station. 3, record 1, English, - power%20management%20and%20distribution%20subsystem
