Abstract

A ruggedized programable switch accepts multiple forms of current from a plurality of sources and thereafter conditions and balances the current to provide a reliable common grounding plane of current for an end user. The common plane reduces electrical noise and interference through grounding loops preventing crosstalk between adjacent circuits while prioritizing current sources feeding the common plane. Components necessary to provide such a common plane of current are housed within a sealed, ruggedized protective housing. The housing passively conveys heat generated by the interiorly protected components to a plurality of heat dissipating fins and channels on the housing's exterior maintaining the device's operational capability. At the same time the housing protects the components from adverse environments and from adverse handling such as might be experienced in remote locations
