Abstract

Power control devices are provided with electrically isolated outputs. One exemplary power control device comprises control electronics configured to: (i) receive a power signal from a DC power source, wherein the control electronics comprise an input ground for the DC power source; and (ii) provide multiple outputs, wherein the multiple outputs is supplied power from the DC power source; wherein the multiple outputs comprise at least one output that is electrically isolated from at least one other output of the multiple outputs that each provide power to one or more of a plurality of loads, wherein the electrical isolation is based on the at least one output having a first output ground that is isolated from a second output ground of the at least one other output, and wherein the input ground, the first output ground, and the second output ground are electrically isolated from each other.
