An apparatus such as a power supply includes management hardware. The management hardware monitors operation of multiple power converter phases coupled in parallel to produce an output voltage. Based on the monitored operation, the management hardware determines a status of a series circuit path connecting windings of the multiple power converter phases. The management hardware produces status information indicating the status of the series circuit path.
