Current Sharing Connections - RP795xA, RP796xA

Current sharing between paralleled models RP795xA and RP796xA
requires a separate sharing cable connecting the units. This cable provides the analog
signal that allows units of the same voltage rating to share current. The current
sharing function must be enabled by the user. For further information about current
sharing, refer to

Enable Current Sharing

Connect the Sharing terminals for current sharing operation as shown in the following figure.
Connection plugs are attached to each end of the sharing cable as shown. When connecting multiple
cables, remove a connector plugs from one of the cables and attach the wire ends to the previous
cable. Parallel pins 2 together and parallel pins 3 together. Pin 1 is not used.

If the Sharing cable is disconnected, the paralleled units will still operate, but will not
share current or maintain constant voltage mode operation. When the output is
disabled, the sharing relay opens and disconnects the unit from the Sharing bus.

Sharing Cable and Cover Installation

SHOCK HAZARD Install the safety cover over the current sharing connectors when
floating the output terminals. The sharing terminals will be at the float potential, which
cannot exceed the isolation ratings given in the

characteristics

tables.

Because of the danger of electric shock when touching the sharing connection plugs, you must install
the safety cover along with the cable. To install the cable through the cover, you must disconnect one
of the connectors to fit the wires through the safety cover.

A ferrite core is also provided to comply with the EMC IEC61326-1 standard. The ferrite core does not
affect the functionality of this product.

The following figures detail the sharing cable incorporated with the safety cover and the ferrite core.
