Abstract

A load share system which connects to the power outputs of two power supplies to determine any deviation of the output currents relative to each other and provides a correction signal representative of the deviation. The system generates two balance signals of similar magnitude and opposite polarity and delivers one of the balance signals to a sense input of one power supply and the other signal to a sense input of the other power supply to balance the power outputs.
