Load Connection 27
Warning:
Each terminal can carry up to 30 A current. Double-terminal connection is needed when the input current
is more than 30 A. Refer to Figure 3.1 - Connection of Load and Device Under Test (DUT) for double-
terminal connection.
3.1 Parallel Connection
Parallel connection can be applied between modules of the same model to increase current and power dissipation, but it
cannot be applied between different modules .
Modules can be paralleled in CC, CR, or CW mode, but cannot be paralleled in CV or CZ mode .
Each module will dissipate the power it has been programmed at. For example, after being paralleled, two single-channel
modules rated at 80V/40A/300W can dissipate up to 80V/80A/600W.
Figure 3.2 illustrates the paralleled connection for increased power dissipation.
