Abstract
A fault-managed power delivery system for delivering power across a distance with fault management is provided. The system includes a fault management circuitry including a reference resistor having a known resistance, a reference resistor switch, line switches configured to electrically connect or disconnect line conductors, and a controller. The reference resistor switch is configured to electrically connect or disconnect the reference resistor, wherein a duty cycle of switching of the reference resistor switch includes a fault detection portion. The controller is configured to control switching of the reference resistor switch and the line switches. The controller is further configured to determine an impedance of the power delivery system during the fault detection portion, determine a fault condition based on the impedance, and disconnect a line if the fault condition is detected. The fault management circuitry is positioned in the transmitter-side subsystem and/or the receiver-side subsystem.
