Combining multiple common sources of electricity

摘要

Different sources of electricity at the same or different potentials are combined using isolating devices or regulators. The outputs from each of the sources of electricity may be combined using a serial or parallel connection depending upon the required combined output. The voltage sources may be ac or dc. In an example a sum voltage VTOFI is obtained from anodes PE1, PE2 and cathodes NE1, NE2 situated in a single common electrolyte SCE using full isolating devices FID1 and FID2. The single common electrolyte may be sea or salt water.
