Shunt regulator circuit for outer-planet-spacecraft radiosotope thermoelectric generator minimizes power-conditioning losses. Unit consists of bank of duplicate regulator control amplifiers and their associated shunt transistors connecter across power supply line. Its high-gain circuitry arranged in redundant configuration in very reliable and is characterized by low standby loss. Circuit can be used on other power-supply applications where size, weight, and reliability are important.
