can cause one or both of the dual input DC power supply's internal A- or B- fuses to open, resulting in
lack of redundancy or system failure. When source A and source B are within 0.25 V, discharge current
is minimal.
Note
When source A and source B are wired with common negative terminals, as in Figure 3-24, discharging
does not occur and there is no restriction requiring that source A and source B voltages be equal.

In Figure 3-26, source A and source B are wired with opposite polarity grounds. Do not use this
configuration.
Caution
Do not use the DC input configuration shown in Figure 3-26.
