Claim Text:
1. A control method for a power supply system having at least two power sections with power outputs connected in parallel, each power section having an output voltage and being actuated via a dedicated control unit and at least one first current limit being predefined for each control unit, the control unit actuating an associated power section in a normal mode up to said first current limit, the method comprising: predefining a first depression value of the output voltage to a transition point from a normal mode region to an overload region at which the first current limit is reached for each control unit; regulating, by a respective control unit, the output voltage of the associated power section to the predefined first depression value to the transition point from the normal mode region to the overload region at which the first current limit is reached; and starting a timer for a predetermined time limit when a current level of a power section of the at least two power sections exceeds the first current limit.
