Abstract
An apparatus for providing power to electronic equipment having multiple power sources. The separate and distinct power sources drive corresponding primary circuits such that the power source inputs can be of a different nature and the power supply can be designed to accommodate different types of voltage inputs. Each primary circuit is isolated one from the other, such that damage resulting from ground-loop potentials is minimized by circuit isolation. Circuit isolation is accomplished by optical isolation between each primary circuit.
