WHY IS TARDEC DEVELOPING POWER ARCHITECTURES? • Electrical power requirements continue to grow as more electronics are added to Military 28VDC Power (Amps) Ground Vehicles (radios, displays, computers, 1800 cameras, turret motors) 1600 1400 • Vehicle designs utilize proprietary electrical 1200 architectures to meet power requirements 1000 800 Alternator Size • The Army pays for a new power architecture 600 (Amps) 400 implementation every time a new vehicle is 200 developed. A reusable standardized 0 architecture implementation is needed to reduce development cost and schedule DISTRIBUTION A. See first page. 2

ELECTRICAL POWER ARCHITECTURE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS • Provide 45kW @ 28VDC -> MIL-STD-1275E • Provide 175kW @ 600VDC -> MIL-PRF-GCS600A. • Silent Watch: 4 kW for 4 hours to vehicle Low Voltage loads with the main engine off • Import/Export 30kW @ 208VAC • Utilize the SAE-J1772 connector for exporting/importing High Voltage power • Power electronics liquid cooling temp @ 105C • Automated power management with anti-idling • Meet the Abrams & Bradley environmental requirements contained within ATPD-2404 Enables Energy Weapons and >10% Fuel Savings DISTRIBUTION A. See first page. 3

TEMPERATURE, COOLANT, & AIRFLOW REQUIREMENTS Ambient Temperatures • Combat Vehicles Operate in Hot, Basic, and Cold climates as defined in AR 70-38 & MIL-STD-810G • Vehicles without air-conditioning experience temperatures up to 71C in the crew areas • Touch temperatures less than 60C in 29.5C ambient • Engine compartment temperatures vary from 121C – 260C right near the exhaust Coolant Temperatures • Using Engine Coolant or 100-105C allows a radiator size reduction of 75% from standard 70C electronics coolant Airflow • No natural airflow on military vehicles. Assume no airflow. Forced air cooling approaches must be able to survive MIL-STD-810G requirements DISTRIBUTION A. See first page. 4

SAFETY FEATURES – HV INTERLOCKS NGCVEPA High Voltage Interlocks DISTRIBUTION A. See first page. 6

SAFETY FEATURES – HV DISCHARGE High Voltage Discharge Requirements • The voltage differential between the High Voltage Power and High Voltage Return pins of any High Voltage connection shall be less than 2 VDC within 300 microseconds upon HVIL circuit interruption, assuming external power has been removed. • The assembly shall reduce all stored charge to less than 5 microcoulombs before access can be gained for repair activities.
