Power Delivery Over a Common Bus Using Fault Managed Power
DRIVE
May 14, 2026
A fault managed power (FMP) transmitter for use in an electrical power system, having a power source port configured to be connected to a first electrical power source of the plurality of electrical power sources and an power bus port configured to be electrically connected to the common electrical bus. There is at least one switch between the power source port and the power bus port and processing circuitry configured to control the at least one switch to receive power from the first electrical power source and to transmit FMP output pulses via the power bus port over the common electrical bus to the FMP receiver. The processing circuitry is configured to receive an external timing trigger to enable the processing circuitry to synchronize the transmission of the FMP output pulses with the transmission of FMP output pulses from each of the at least one other FMP transmitter.
