A system and method for detecting a malfunction of a slave power supply and triggering an interlock signal in response to the detection of the malfunction. The method for activating an interlock signal on detecting a malfunction of a slave power supply, includes receiving first and second inputs. In one embodiment, the first input received represents status of a set point, and the second input represents output power. On receiving the inputs the method determines that the slave power supply system has malfunctioned when the received inputs substantially mismatch. In response to the determination of the malfunction, an interlock signal is activated. The system to implement the method includes a first circuit section and a second circuit section. The first circuit section is configurable to receive a first signal representing status of the set point for the output power and a second signal representing the output power of the power supply system. The first circuit section is configurable to activate a trigger signal when the first and second signals substantially mismatch. The second circuit section, which is electrically coupled to the first circuit section, is configurable to activate the interlock signal in response to receiving the trigger signal. In one embodiment, the system to implement the method includes a processing unit, memory coupled to the processing unit and a program included in the memory, where the program is executable to implement the method.
