Рис. ABB
True redundancy using a CP-A RUFor true redundancy it is necessary to provide decoupling of the individual power supplies.
Otherwise, the failed power supply could possibly act as a load for the other power supply or, in the worst case, cause a short circuit on the secondary side resulting in a failure of the second power supply.
Decoupling of the power supplies has to be performed by connecting decoupling diodes (so called O-ring diodes) to the secondary outputs. These diodes prevent mutual loading of the power supplies in case of a fault and thus guarantee continuous supply.
For the setup of redundant power supply systems, ABB offers two redundancy units, the CP-RUD (for output currents of up to 5 A) and the CP-A RU (for output currents of up to 40 A). The inputs of these units are connected to the terminals L+ and L- of the power supplies (many other manufacturers often consider L+ only). The loads are supplied directly from the outputs of the redundancy unit.

12 the course of true love never did run smooth
посл.путь истинной любви никогда не бывает гладким [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]Lysander: "Ah me! for aught that ever I could read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth... " (W. Shakespeare, ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’, act I, sc. 1) — Лизандр: "Увы! Я никогда еще не слышал И не читал - в истории ли, в сказке ль, Чтоб гладким был путь истинной любви... " (перевод Т. Щепкиной-Куперник)
Ralph's letter was a long, involved, and - in Etta's opinion - priggish document, beginning with another string of apologies, repeating most of what he had said, and going over all their past. Quite a valuable essay on the theme of the course of true love never did run smooth, Etta thought sardonically. (R. Aldington, ‘Women Must Work’, part III, ch. 7) — Письмо Ральфа было длинным, запутанным и, по мнению Этты, самодовольным. Вначале шли извинения, большинство которых она уже слышала, а затем излагалась вся их прошлая жизнь. "Весьма ценный очерк на тему о том, что путь истинной любви никогда не бывает гладким", - саркастически подумала Этта.

Более отвратительной личности я в своей жизни не видел.

15 be true to one's salt
Faithful as they were to their salt, they had never so much as dreamed that the master whom they had served so loyally could betray them. (J. A. Froude Quoted in EI) — Они служили своему хозяину верой и правдой. Им и в голову не приходило, что хозяин, которому они были так преданы, может коварно обмануть их.
