    Abstract: A fault isolation apparatus includes a controller and a circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is located on a bus connected to a DC/DC conversion unit, if a voltage collected by a first voltage collection terminal is a negative value, it indicates that input or output of the DC/DC conversion unit is reversely connected. In this case, if the circuit breaker is controlled to be opened, the DC/DC conversion unit can be prevented from being connected in series to other parallel DC/DC conversion units. If a voltage collected by a first voltage collection terminal is low and a current collected by a current collection terminal is large, it indicates that the DC/DC conversion unit is short-circuited. In this case, if the circuit breaker is controlled to be opened, another component connected in series to the DC/DC conversion unit can also be prevented from backfeeding energy to the DC/DC conversion unit.

    Abstract: A direct current (DC)/DC conversion circuit includes an input end, a power circuit, and an output end, a bypass circuit that is a unidirectional conduction circuit, and a switch disposed between the input end and the power circuit, where the input end is configured to be coupled to an external power supply to receive power to the DC/DC conversion circuit. The bypass circuit is coupled between the input end and the power circuit, the bypass circuit is disposed between the switch and the power circuit, and the bypass circuit is coupled to the power circuit in parallel. The switch is configured to be closed when the input end is reversely coupled to the external power supply to enable a current from a positive electrode of the external power supply to flow back to a negative electrode of the external power supply through the bypass circuit and the switch.
