A distributed power network includes a power bus infrastructure distributed over a region with node points provided to interface with controllable power nodes. Each power node can be connected to an external power device such as a DC power sources, a DC power load, or a rechargeable DC battery. The power nodes form a communication network and cooperate with each other to receive input power from DC power sources and or rechargeable DC batteries connected to the power bus infrastructure and distribute the power received therefrom to the power bus infrastructure for distribution to the DC power loads and to rechargeable DC batteries.

Power manager with reconfigurable power converting circuits

A reconfigurable power circuit () includes a single one-way DC to DC power converter (). The reconfigurable power circuit is configurable by a digital data processor as one of three different power channels (, and). Power channel () provides output power conversion. Power channel () provides input power conversion. Power channel () provides bi-directional power exchange without power conversion.

Distributed power manager

A portable power manager device () includes a DC power bus () and a plurality of device ports (, and). A primary device port () is connectable to the DC power bus over a primary power channel that does not include a DC to DC power converter. A plurality of secondary device ports () is each connectable to the DC power bus over a different reconfigurable power channel (). Each reconfigurable power channel includes a single one-way DC to DC power converter (). Each reconfigurable power channel is configurable by a digital data processor as one of three different circuit legs (, and). Leg () provides output power conversion. Leg () provides input power conversion. Leg () provides bi-directional power exchange without power conversion.

Portable power manager enclosure

A cable gland assembly for attaching a shielded cable to an electronic enclosure includes a cable gland housing enclosing and in electrical contact with exposed cable shielding of the shielded cable and providing an electrically conductive pathway between the cable shielding and the electronic enclosure. The cable gland housing further encloses a shield pressure ring disposed to hold the exposed cable shielding in contact with the cable gland housing, a weather gasket, and an exposed portion of a cable strength member. The cable gland assembly includes environmental molding disposed within the cable gland housing to bond to and fix in place the exposed cable shielding, shield pressure ring, weather gasket, and exposed cable strength member. An outer molding is disposed around the cable gland housing.
