Abstract
The invention relates to a DC power distribution system for distributing DC power to one or several electrical devices. The system comprises an electrical device () for receiving DC power via an electrical conductor () from a power supply device () with a power supply control unit () and for transmitting a signal to the power supply control unit for requesting a lower power or a higher power. The power supply device is operable in a high power mode and in a low power mode, wherein the power supply control unit controls the power mode of the power supply device depending on the received signal. This allows adapting the power supply to the power, which is actually really needed in the DC power distribution system, in a technically relatively simple way. Particularly standby situations can be handled more efficiently.
