Abstract

A solid state power controller includes at least one solid state switching device connected to at least one load to be supplied with power from a power feed line and configured to selectively connect the respective load to the power feed line or to disconnect the respective load from the power feed line; at least one SSPC control circuit configured to supply a control voltage to a control terminal of the solid state switching device; and a discrete output circuit electrically that supplies a discrete output signal indicative of the state of the control terminal of the solid state switching device and the discrete output circuit detects an overcurrent in a circuit connected to the discrete output terminal and to limit an output current and/or interrupt supply of the discrete output signal in case an overcurrent is detected.
