Abstract:
A dual source alternating current to direct current distributor comprising:an alternating current input; a rectifier, wherein an input of said rectifier is coupled to said alternating current input, and wherein an output of said rectifier is direct current; a current sensor coupled to an output of said rectifier; a diode coupled to an output of said current sensor; a first comparator coupled to said current sensor, wherein an output of said first comparator is influenced by a current flowing through said current sensor; a second comparator coupled to said diode, wherein an output of said second comparator is influenced by said current flowing through said diode; a chassis which accepts said rectifier, said current sensor, said diode, said first and second comparator; and a carrier which accepts a first and second of said chassis and permits removal of either said first or second chassis without affecting an operation of a remaining chassis.
