Figure 39 - Shared Bus Supply
In this simple example, we want AFE bus supply #1 to provide roughly the same
amount of current and power to the shared bus as AFE bus supply #2. One
cannot be certain the impedance from the mains to the shared DC bus is the
same between AFE bus supply #1 and AFE bus supply #2. Any impedance
mismatch can lead to a mismatch in current and power delivery. If the path
through AFE bus supply #1 has a lower impedance, then AFE bus supply #1
delivers more power than AFE bus supply #2. Differences in loading can produce
issues with component wear and reliability, which can result in unplanned
downtime.
