Abstract
An aircraft solid state power controller for controlling electric power in an aircraft comprises: a solid state power switching device for switching the electric power, the solid state power switching device comprising an input node, an output node and a control node; a first bypass diode electrically connected between the input node of the solid state power switching device and the control node of the solid state power switching device; and a switchable bypass electrically connected between the input node of the solid state power switching device, and the output node of the solid state power switching device. The switchable bypass comprises a second bypass diode and a bypass switch. An electric bypass current (Ibypass) flowing through the second bypass diode is switchable by switching the bypass switch on and off. The aircraft solid state power controller further comprises a bypass controller configured for switching the bypass switch on/off.
