Patent ID: 11860599
Assignee: ROCKWELL AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. A system, comprising:
a first power converter configured to supply a first current to a first backplane while a second power converter is concurrently supplying a second current to a second backplane, wherein the first backplane and the second backplane are configured to electrically couple the first power converter and the second power converter, respectively, to one or more load components, wherein each load component of the one or more load components comprises an ORing circuit configured to switch between the first power converter and the second power converter via the first backplane and the second backplane, respectively; and
a control system electrically coupled to the first backplane and the second backplane, wherein the control system comprises one or more processors that instruct the first power converter to adjust the first current such that the first current and the second current are imbalanced with respect to each other in response to receiving a request to verify that the second power converter is capable of supplying the one or more load components with a target current value while the first current and the second current are imbalanced, wherein the one or more processors determine that the first current and the second current are imbalanced based on data sensed by a respective ORing circuit.
