About
The ARC Regulation and Control Equipment is a monoblock system specifically designed for the regulation and monitoring of the power supply system in manned spacecraft. It was released in 2012 and has a guaranteed service life of 5 years. The estimated production and delivery time is 18 months. While it does not have flight qualification, it can be adapted to customer requirements. The basic setup includes four current regulators, four charge-discharge devices, one voltage regulator, and one central control submodule. The design of the monoblock can be modified to increase its power output up to 10 kW by reconfiguring its internal submodules. It is planned for operation as part of a prospective piloted transport system.
