The Vertical Power PPS Primary Power System is a solid-state primary power distribution unit for the master, starter and charging circuits. Manufacturer part number: KT1458-1.

Designed to consolidate several high-current electro-mechanical components into one clearly labelled unit, the PPS controls battery power to the starter, provides main-bus power for a Vertical Power VP-X system or a traditional electrical bus, and completes the alternator B-lead charging connection.

• Main bus output: 80 A maximum continuous
• Starter output: 300 A maximum continuous; 1,200 A maximum intermittent
• Alternator input: 80 A maximum continuous
• Operating voltage: 8–36 VDC
• Transient protection on all connections
• Supports a backup alternator operating in parallel with the primary alternator
• Component temperature range: −40 °C to +85 °C
• Approximate weight: 0.72 kg

The PPS is described for experimental aircraft and light-sport aircraft electrical installations. According to the available product information, it is not compatible with two-bus systems. Installation suitability, electrical-system architecture and applicable approval requirements should be verified before purchase and installation.
