Power isolation without current drop - 24 V DC

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS40210

Hello, 

i have a used signal and power isolators in my rs-485 circuit before but this time a different query regarding isolation arised-

1) in above image there are 2 boards A and B. Our main board is Board A which has input power supply of 24 Vdc, 3.2 A.

along with it a Board B has also to be connected which will be powered by Board A, thus we need to isolate the power of both the boards. from the part which is circled with a question mark in it.

Current consumption of ( Power Supply - 24 Vdc, 3.2 A)

Board A - 1.5 A

Board B - 1 A

 

So main constraint is that even after isolating we dont want current to be dropped below 3.2 A, when the Board B is also connected  ?

What will be the best method to isolate this?
