Abstract
A circuit connects a low-voltage high-current DC power source (P ) in series with a high-voltage low-current DC source (P ). The series connection is made under full power by using the second source P to commutate the load current and allow the first source P to be reconfigured from series to parallel operation, doubling its current rating.
