Abstract
Detecting excess current flow in a pluggable component is performed by completing a first current supply path between a power source and a pluggable component, and subsequently completing a second current supply path in parallel with the first current supply path. The first and second current supply paths form a current divider for supplying the pluggable component with electrical power from the power source. The first current supply path includes a current sensing mechanism for sensing current consumption of the pluggable component. The sensed current consumption is used to provide excess current detection for the pluggable component.
