TLDR
In this article, a fault tolerant power supply consisting of a first rectifier and a second rectifier with a boost circuit for correcting line current harmonics is presented, where the boost circuit and output diodes are connected in parallel with the first rectifiers.Abstract:
A fault tolerant power supply comprises a first rectifier and a second rectifier with a boost circuit for correcting line current harmonics. The second rectifier, the boost circuit and output diodes are connected in parallel with the first rectifier. A capacitor circuit is charged through the second rectifier and boost converter when a 240 volt line input is present, but the circuit is charged through the first rectifier when a 120 volt line input is present. With failure of the boost converter circuit or with removal of the boost converter circuit from the system, the capacitor circuit is charged through the first rectifier.read more
