ABSTRACT:
Each of a plurality of parallel connected power supplies is controlled by a parallel control circuit which measures the output current from each power supply and compares this output current to the average output current produced by all the power supplies and generates a signal representative of the difference therebetween to drive the output current of the power supply toward the average output curent from all power supplies. The structure includes in addition a switch for disconnecting the parallel control circuit of a failed power supply from the system and a booster resistor for assisting in bootstrapping the startup of a given power supply being inserted into parallel with the preexisting parallel connected power supplies.
