Abstract
A power supply system and a power supply method are provided. At least two power supply units are arranged in a power supply cabinet, each of the power supply units includes a main input port and a backup input port. The power supply units are divided into a first power supply group and a second power supply group. The first input power supply is connected to the main input port of each of the power supply units in the first power supply group and the backup input port of each of the power supply units in the second power supply group. The second input power supply is connected to the backup input port of each of the power supply units in the first power supply group and the main input port of each of the power supply units in the second power supply group.
Claims16
A power supply system, comprising:
- a power supply cabinet comprising at least two power supply units, wherein the at least two power supply units are divided into a first power supply group and a second power supply group, and each of the at least two power supply units comprises a main input port and a backup input port;
- a first input power supply connected to the main input port of each of the power supply units in the first power supply group and the backup input port of each of the power supply units in the second power supply group;
- and
- a second input power supply connected to the backup input port of each of the power supply units in the first power supply group and the main input port of each of the power supply units in the second power supply group, wherein
- in a case where the first input power supply and the second input power supply operate normally, the power supply cabinet is configured to receive power supply voltages supplied by the first input power supply and the second input power supply through the main input ports of all of the power supply units, and supply power to an external device to be powered using the power supply voltages.
A power supply method, comprising:
- arranging at least two power supply units in a power supply cabinet, wherein the at least two power supply units are divided into a first power supply group and a second power supply group, and each of the at least two power supply units comprises a main input port and a backup input port;
- connecting a first input power supply to the main input port of each of the power supply units in the first power supply group and the backup input port of each of the power supply units in the second power supply group;
- connecting a second input power supply to the backup input port of each of the power supply units in the first power supply group and the main input port of each of the power supply units in the second power supply group;
- controlling the power supply cabinet to receive power supply voltages supplied by the first input power supply and the second input power supply through the main input ports of all of the power supply units, in a case where it is determined that the first input power supply and the second input power supply operate normally;
- and
- supplying power to an external device to be powered using the power supply voltages.
