Abstract
Technology for concurrently powering equipment from multiple power sources, and the control thereof is disclosed. One example implementation of the technology includes a first power supply that powers equipment from a first power source and a second power supply that also powers the equipment from a second power source while the equipment is being powered by the first power supply. A target direct current (DC) output voltage of at least one of the power supplies is changed, thereby changing a ratio of the power being drawn from the first power supply to the power being drawn from the second power supply.
