ABSTRACT:
A power distribution system for supplying power to a plurality of point-to-load power supplies includes a plurality of bulk power supplies, each having a separate respective power distribution bus coupled at the output thereof. Each power distribution bus is coupled to each point-of-load power supply through an OR gate such that if one or more of the bulk power supplies fails, or if a fault occurs on one or more of the power distribution buses, then the point-of-load power supplies are unaffected because they continue to receive power from the other bulk power supplies via the respective OR gates. Furthermore, if a power distribution bus becomes short-circuited to ground, the current therein is limited electronically by the respective bulk power supply. Hence, the power distribution buses are protected against overcurrent without the need for a multitude of dc circuit breakers.
