Power supplies of the same type can be connected in series for higher

output voltages. It is possible to connect as many units in series as needed,

providing the sum of the output voltage does not exceed 150Vdc. Voltages

with a potential above 60Vdc must be installed with a protection against

touching.

Avoid return voltage (e.g. from a decelerating motor or battery) which is

applied to the output terminals.

Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left / right) between two power

supplies and avoid installing the power supplies on top of each other. Do

not use power supplies in series in mounting orientations other than the

standard mounting orientation (input terminals on bottom of the unit).

Pay attention that leakage current, EMI, inrush current, harmonics will increase when using multiple power supplies.

Power supplies can be paralleled to increase the output power. For

redundancy applications one extra power supply is always needed for

sufficient output current in case one unit fails.

The unit is permanently set to “parallel use” mode in order to achieve

load sharing between power supplies connected in parallel. The “Parallel

use” mode regulates the output voltage in such a manner that the voltage

at no load is approx. 4% higher than at nominal load. See also chapter 6.

Energize all units at the same time. It also might be necessary to cycle the

input power (turn-off for at least five seconds), if the output was in

overload or short circuits and the required output current is higher than

the current of one unit.

Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left / right) between two power supplies and avoid installing the power

supplies on top of each other.

Do not use power supplies in parallel in mounting orientations other than the standard mounting orientation (input

terminals on bottom of the unit) or in any other condition where a derating of the output current is required (e.g.

altitude).

Pay attention that leakage current, EMI, inrush current, harmonics will increase when using multiple power supplies.

Do not load paralleled power supplies with higher currents as shown in the following diagrams:

two paralleled units

for three paralleled units
