Abstract: The present invention relates to a feedback device for a power supply, including a main feedback module, an auxiliary feedback module and a feedback control module. The main feedback module is adapted to sample a voltage on a main output branch of the power supply, and output a main feedback voltage to the feedback control module. The auxiliary feedback module is adapted to reduce the main feedback voltage when a voltage on an auxiliary output branch of the power supply drops. The feedback control module is adapted to control the power supply to increase its power output when the main feedback voltage decreases, so that the voltage on the auxiliary output branch is restored to normal. By using the power supply feedback device of the present invention, the circuit is simple, not only solving voltage sag problems, but also ensuring the power density and cost.

Abstract: There is provided a grounding detection device and method. The grounding detection device may include an insulation tester and a grounding resistance providing unit. The insulation tester may be mounted in a first cabinet, electrically connected to a positive busbar and a negative busbar to detect an equivalent busbar-to-ground resistance, and grounded via the first cabinet. The grounding resistance providing unit may be mounted at least in part in a second cabinet different from the first cabinet, electrically connected to at least one of the positive busbar and the negative busbar to provide a grounding resistance, and grounded via the second cabinet. The insulation tester may determine, based on resistance values of the equivalent busbar-to-ground resistance and the grounding resistance, whether there is a ground fault or not for the insulation tester, the first cabinet, and the second cabinet.
