ABSTRACT:
In order to achieve the capability to operate a plurality of identical power supplies in parallel, whereby the drawbacks of the conventional master-slave regulator relationship are avoided, the regulator of each power supply is provided with a load current sensor and a secondary differential amplifier circuit responsive to a predetermined load current for controlling the normal reference voltage supplied to the primary, voltage regulating differential amplifier. As a result of the inevitable, within-tolerance differences in the characteristics of two paralleled regulators, one supply will assume constant current operation at the predetermined load current while the other supply will operate at constant voltage and will carry the remainder of the actual load current. As many identical power supplies as necessary for a given application may be operated in parallel, and a single one will automatically operate in the constant voltage mode while the rest operate in the constant current mode.
