Abstract

A control circuit and power supply system for a power supply device are disclosed to ensure the safe execution of the device's functions and improve its operational reliability. The control circuit includes a first signal line, a second signal line, a third signal line, and a control switch. The first signal line is connected to the first power module of the power supply device; the second signal line is connected to the last power module; all power modules within the power supply device are connected via the third signal line. When the control switch is closed, a control signal is transmitted to each power module via the first, second, and third signal lines. The first, second, and third signal lines form a closed control loop. If a break occurs in the signal transmission line, the control signal can be transmitted through the signal line on the other side of the break, ensuring that all power modules can receive the control signal, thus improving the operational reliability of the power supply device.
