Abstract
A three-output DC voltage supply for providing a positive, an intermediate, and a negative voltage supply is provided which includes a positive DC voltage bus and a negative DC voltage bus configured to be connected to a DC power source, a first voltage divider connected between the positive DC voltage bus and the negative DC voltage bus, wherein the first voltage divider includes a voltage-setting component and a resistive component, and a short-circuit protection component including first and second transistors of opposite types connected between the voltage-setting component and the resistive component, wherein a base of the first transistor is connected to a collector of the second transistor to define a first base/collector node, a base of the second transistor is connected to a collector of the first transistor to define a second base/collector node, and the intermediate voltage supply is provided by either the first or second gate/collector nodes.
