Power share distribution system and method

A current share distribution system comprising:

• a plurality of current supplies;
• an isolator provided for each current supply of said plurality of current supplies for selectively blocking/passing an output current from said current supply;
• and
• a controller controlling each said isolator for passing an output current of each said current supply for a predetermined time, such that different groups of said plurality of current supplies supply output current to a load at different times;
• wherein said controller at least periodically monitors real-time enablement of said each current supply of said plurality of current supplies during continued operation of said plurality of current supplies, and upon detection of disablement controls passage of said output current of said each current supply such that total current delivery by said current share distribution system is divided and shared substantially equally over time by a sub-plurality of presently operative said current supplies.

A current share distribution system comprising:

• at least three current supplies;
• an isolator provided for each current supply of said at least three current supplies for selectively blocking/passing an output current from said current supply;
• and
• a controller controlling each said isolator for passing an output current of each said current supply for a predetermined time, such that different groups of said at least three current supplies supply output current to a load at different times, wherein said controller at least periodically monitors real-time enablement of each said current supply of said at least three current supplies during continued operation of said plurality of current supplies, and upon detection of disablement, controls passage of said output current of each said current supply such that total current delivery by said current share distribution system is divided and shared substantially equally over time by a sub-plurality of presently operative said at least three current supplies.

A computer server system including a current share distribution system, said current share distribution system comprising:

• at least three current supplies;
• an isolator provided for each current supply of said at least three current supplies for selectively blocking/passing an output current from said current supply;
• and
• a controller controlling each said isolator for passing an output current of each said current supply for a predetermined time, such that different groups of said at least three current supplies supply output current to a load at different times, wherein said controller at least periodically monitors real-time enablement of each said current supply of said at least three current supplies during continued operation of said at least three current supplies, and upon detection of disablement, controls passage of said output current of each said current supply such that total current delivery by said current share distribution system is divided and shared substantially equally over time by a sub-plurality of presently operative said at least three current supplies.

A power share distribution method comprising the steps of:

• outputting power from a plurality of power supplies;
• providing an isolator for each power supply of said plurality of power supplies for selectively blocking/passing said power from said power supply;
• and
• controlling each said isolator for passing an output power of each said power supply for a predetermined time, such that different groups of said plurality of power supplies supply output power to a load at different times;
• wherein said controlling at least periodically monitors real-time enablement of said each power supply of said plurality of power supplies during continued operation of said plurality of power supplies, and upon detection of disablement controls passage of said output power of said each power supply such that total power delivery by a power share distribution system is divided and shared substantially equally over time by a sub-plurality of presently operative said power supplies.
