Summary Next generation warships require energy dense distributions to power advanced weapon and sensor loads on the horizon. Medium-voltage dc distribution is well-suited to provide this requirement if certain reservations are addressed. A particularly concerning issue is that these advanced loads draw large currents in short periods of time similar to fault behavior; and may be indiscernible from a fault.
