Abstract

PURPOSE: To simplify the entire system construction of a power unit which is controlled by a constant current and performs parallel redundant operation. CONSTITUTION: The current detection signals of shunt resistances 15, 15A and 15B are added together by an addition circuit 21 and supplied to each voltage variable terminal TRM as the common variable command voltage. The output currents I1, I2 and I3 of the power main bodies 11, 11A and 11B are kept at a constant level by the common variable command voltage. Thereby, the large and expensive resistances 15, 15A and 15B are not necessary because they are provided in bodies 11, 11A and 11B respectively. Furthermore, it is enough just to connect a shunt resistance to a power main body 11C that is newly added.
