Parallel Connection
Two 4601 units connected in parallel are capable of sink operation up to +30 V/-20 A.
The following shows a connection diagram in which two units are connected in parallel using a 4-wire con-
nection.

CAUTION:
1.
If the load is opened, current flows from the higher to the lower of the set voltage. Depending on the settings,
an overload may be generated.
2.
If the load is opened when three or more units are connected in parallel, the one to be used as source and the
one to be used as sink are decided by the set voltage, and the voltage control is performed in accordance with
this balance
Output voltage = The smaller of the voltages set for No. 1 or No. 2
