ABSTRACT:
A method and system for delivering electrical energy from multiple power supplies to multiple loads. Each power supply can have multiple independent outputs. Each load is coupled in a matrix pattern to at least one output from each of the different power supplies. This wiring system provides redundancy in that if one output or one power supply fails, an output from another power supply can still provide power to the loads. The number of over-current protection devices needed with the matrix wiring system is reduced compared to traditional wiring methods. Also, the level of safety is greater under the matrix approach rather than the traditional approach. The matrix wiring system also aids in pinpointing faulty components. Finally, the matrix wiring approach allows a gradual degradation of the power distribution system when failures of the loads or the power supply outputs occur.
