Abstract:
A power distribution circuit for providing electric power from a plurality of power supplies to a plurality of loads comprises a combiner of power outputs of the power supplies to provide power at a given voltage to a plurality of hot swap modules that are each electrically connected to the combiner and to a power input of a corresponding load. Each hot swap module verifies one or more conditions selected from the given voltage being at least equal to a minimum voltage threshold, the given voltage not exceeding a maximum voltage threshold, and a current consumed by the load not exceeding a maximum current threshold. Each hot swap module delivers power to the power input of the corresponding load when all selected conditions are met and isolates the power input of the corresponding load from the power supplies when any one of the selected conditions is not met.
