High-Voltage High-Current Lightweight Solid-State Protection Circuit for Avionic Applications

This project is about developing and demonstrating a lightweight high-voltage solid-state protection component (SSPC) compatible with aerospace standards. Specifically, a product suitable for electrical architectures with voltage bus higher than 1 kV and current capability higher than 1 kA will be pursued.

The proposed solution will incorporate the cooling and thermal management device, as well as the necessary electro-magnetic shielding features required to meet the standards of aerospace applications. To achieve the intended targets, the project will base on a balanced mixture of topological and technological studies and will deliver built-in reliability integrated solutions at the TRL4 level.
