ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method and system for preventing an output of current greater than a desired amount for a redundant power supply system. In an embodiment of the present invention, redundant power supplies may be shut down when the sum of the output currents from the redundant power supplies is greater than a specified maximum current for a single power supply. Additionally, if a power supply should operate outside of desired voltage and current specifications, the power supply may be disabled while the method and system of the present invention monitor the output current of a redundant power supply.
