Abstract
A power distributing apparatus connecting several loads to a DC voltage supply includes a number of cascaded hierarchy stages connected between the DC voltage supply and the loads. The hierarchy stages define a radial-network-type current path which branches into a number of parallel sub-paths with each additional hierarchy stage. The number of sub-paths connecting the loads corresponds to the number of connected loads. Each sub-path conducts an electric current which can be switched by a respective circuit breaker disposed in each sub-path. The value of a trigger current for each circuit breaker in each hierarchy stage increases successively from the load side toward the DC voltage supply side.
