What is BS EN 16603-20-20 - Electrical design and interface requirements about ?
The target applications covered by BS EN 16603-20-20 are all missions traditionally provided with power distribution and protection by LCLs/RLCLs (science, earth observation, navigation) with exclusion of applications for which the power distribution and protection is provided by fuses (e.g., most of the GEO telecom satellites).
The present standard applies to power distribution by LCLs/RLCLs for power systems, and in general for satellites, required to be Single Point Failure Free.
BS EN 16603-20-20 applies exclusively to the main bus power distribution by LCLs/RLCLs to external satellite loads.
Note: Paralleling of LCLs to increase power supply line reliability is not covered by BS EN 16603-20-20, since this choice does not appreciably change the reliability of the overall function (i.e., LCL plus load).

Why should you use BS EN 16603-20-20 - Electrical design and interface requirements ?
BS EN 16603-20-20 identifies the requirements needed to specify, procure or develop a space power distribution based on Latching Current Limiters, both from source and load perspective.
BS EN 16603-20-20 covers electrical design and interface requirements for power distribution based on Latching Current Limiters to help you improve quality of electrical design and interface.
