Three output DC voltage supply with short circuit protection

A three output DC voltage supply with short circuit protection for providing a positive, intermediate, and negative voltage supply, comprising:

• a positive DC voltage bus and a negative DC voltage bus that connect to a DC power source;
• a first voltage divider connected between the positive DC voltage bus and the negative DC voltage bus, wherein the first voltage divider comprises a first transistor, and wherein an output of the first voltage divider provides the intermediate voltage supply;
• a second voltage divider connected between the positive DC voltage bus and the negative DC voltage bus, wherein an output of the second voltage divider is connected to a base of the first transistor, and;
• a short circuit protection module including;
• a second transistor including an emitter, a collector, and a base, wherein the emitter and the collector are connected between the outputs of the first and second voltage dividers, and the base is connected to an emitter of the first transistor, and;
• a current limiting element connected to the emitter of the first transistor and configured to limit power dissipated by the first transistor in case of a short circuit to the intermediate voltage supply.
