    摘要: An isolation circuit for use in a power plant having a first power supply that powers a first load and a second power supply that powers a second load. The first and second power supplies are cross-couplable via a first and second auxiliary path to allow the first power supply to power the second load and the second power supply to power the first load. The first power supply is subject to a reverse current by way of the first auxiliary path. The isolation circuit includes a first switch, located in the first auxiliary path, that substantially reduces the reverse current flowing into the first power supply thereby enhancing an isolation of the first power supply. A controller is, also, provided that monitors the first switch thereby enhancing a reliability of the power plant.
