A circuit is described for balancing a power supply having a positive bus with a positive voltage, and a negative bus with a negative voltage. The circuit includes a transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding. Switching circuitry alternately connects the positive bus and the negative bus to the primary winding of the transformer thereby generating a secondary voltage of opposite polarity on the secondary winding of the transformer. Recycling circuitry is also included which is coupled to the secondary winding of the transformer and the positive and negative buses. When the secondary voltage is greater than the positive voltage, power is transferred from the negative bus to the positive bus via the transformer and the recycling circuit. When the secondary voltage is less than the negative voltage, power is transferred from the positive bus to the negative bus via the transformer and the recycling circuit.
