  • Patent number: 12246607
    Abstract: A power supply system can include an electrical power source and a power converter connectable to a load. The electrical power source can provide a first DC voltage with a first potential difference (VH) between a first DC potential output and a second DC potential output, and a third DC potential output having a potential between the potential at the first DC potential output and the potential at the second DC potential output. The power converter can provide a second voltage with a second potential difference (VL) between a first potential output (V+) and a second potential output (V?). The second potential difference (VL) can be less than the first potential difference (VH). The power converter can electrically isolate the first DC voltage from the second voltage, and the second potential output (V?) can be connected to the third DC potential output using a first connection including an impedance.

The power converter can provide a second voltage with a second potential difference (VL) between a first potential output (V+) and a second potential output (V-). The second potential difference (VL) can be less than the first potential difference (VH). The power converter can electrically isolate the first DC voltage from the second voltage, and the second potential output (V-) can be connected to the third DC potential output using a first connection including an impedance.

  • Patent number: 9774185
    Abstract: A continuous power supply system suitable for input connection to N continuous power supply networks that are distinct and connected to a single ground potential, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2. Said continuous power supply system comprises means for switching/selecting one of the power supply networks, means for regulating an output voltage established by the power supply system, and a control unit for the means for switching/selecting and for the means for regulating. The means for regulating the output voltage includes N distinct buck-boost converters with shared inductance. A given buck-boost converter is dedicated to each power supply network for regulating the voltage output of the power supply system on the basis of an input voltage established by the corresponding power supply network.
