When you modify your system's architecture from mechanical to an electrical circuit breaker- based power distribution unit (PDU) and power architecture, you achieve much better flexibility and customization at the system level. You can tailor and scale to the specific needs of your platform more efficiently and optimize the system design to protect expensive and sensitive loads . This blog offers some reasons why electronic circuit breakers are more advantageous within a military platform.... read more

Introducing the MILTECH 9080: a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) integrated with a managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch

At the heart of every modern Military system lie two essential building blocks—a power distribution system and a Networking connectivity solution. But what can one get from combining the two functions into one value-multiplier product? Enter the MILTECH 9080, a groundbreaking Power Distribution Unit (PDU) integrated with a managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch, a solution engineered to meet modern military operations' diverse and demanding needs. From its robust, efficient design to its unique, cost-effective, and space-saving features, the MILTECH 9080 sets a new design and engineering excellence standard.... read more

PDU devices serve as a ‘circuit breaker’ to protect expensive and sensitive loads designed into the system. Such loads may include computers, displays, control devices, sensors, and weapons systems. Like the circuit breaker in homes, a PDU is a necessary tool to protect against current inrush or spikes, short circuit conditions, and other electronic maladies. In today’s market, power management devices, such as PDUs, may be referred to as circuit breakers, power distribution units (PDU), remote power control (RPC), and other trade names. PDUs can come in many different shapes and sizes based on the requirements of the military system, but not all are designed for use in a military or aerospace environment.... read more

Today's military technology requires robust, reliable, highly efficient, and versatile components. Multifunctional products combining multiple features or integrating several technological functions into one chassis provide a versatile, efficient, and compact installation method. This development approach of smart, economical, and operationally efficient solutions expands the limits of modern military operations.... read more

Most engineers are all too familiar with the term "electrification" in military vehicle and aircraft designs, defined as the conversion of a machine or system to the use of electrical power. It's necessary to integrate power distribution units (PDUs) when designing this electrification and protecting higher voltages, harnesses, and loads on a system. PDUs can also be referred to as solid state power control (SSPC) or remote power control (RPC) and they replace old mechanical circuit breakers with electronic circuit breaker technology.... read more
