NASA's Lewis Research Center has systemmatically pushed the development of high voltage solid state remote power controllers (RPC's) and the required semiconductor power switches to provide baseline technology for large, high power distribution systems in the Space Station, All Electric Airplane and other advanced aerospace applications. The technology of solid state RPC's has progressed from the development to the application stage at various voltage and power levels from a few hundred watts to 50 kWs. RPC's have been or are being developed for dc voltages from 28 to 1200 V and ac voltages of 115, 230, and 440 V at frequencies of 400 Hz to 20 kHz. This paper reviews the benefits and operation of solid state RPC's, and highlights several developments of NASA Lewis and other Government agencies to bring the RPC to technology readiness for future aerospace needs. New technology programs to develop a new family of (DI)/sup 2/ semiconductor switches and 20 kHz, 440 V ac RPC's are also described.
