Abstract

This power supply is intended, more particularly, for powering a user digital terminal from a remote terminal in an integrated service digital telephone network. It comprises a main D.C. electricity power source (10) provided with a protection device (11) causing its output to go to a high impedance state in the absence of a voltage across its terminals, and an auxiliary D.C. electricity power source (20) connected in parallel and in opposition with the main source (10) and provided with a current limiting device (20) which is normally tripped by the additional current which the main source (10) attempts to impose thereon.
