A power supply fault monitoring system can be configured to monitor for repetitive faulting of a power supply and to inhibit the power supply if repetitive faulting or a sufficiently long fault is detected. The system can include an input voltage monitor module configured to monitor input voltage to the power supply and output an input voltage status signal, an output voltage monitor module configured to monitor output voltage from the power supply and configured to output an output voltage status signal, and a fault monitor module operatively connected to the input voltage monitor module and the output voltage monitor module to receive the input voltage status signal and the output voltage status signal. The fault monitor module can be configured to detect repetitive faulting or a sufficiently long fault based on the input voltage status signal and the output voltage status signal and output a power supply inhibit signal to inhibit the power supply if repetitive faulting or a sufficiently long fault is detected.
