Patent attributes
Power delivery systems and methods described herein conductively couple several input lines with a cable that conducts a multi-phase electric current. The input lines separately conduct different phases of the electric current. Output lines are conductively coupled with plural machines, and separately conduct the different phases of the electric current. Plural switching devices are conductively coupled with the input lines and with the output lines, and are used to control the switching devices in order to conduct the different phases of the electric current to the machines. A first set of the switching devices is closed to separately conduct the different phases of the electric current to a first machine of the machines. A different, second set of the switching devices is separately closed to separately conduct the different phases of the electric current to a different, second machine of the machines.
