5.4 Series Operation
Power supplies of the same model can be connected in series to obtain increased output voltage.
Split connection of the power supplies gives positive and negative output voltage.
WARNING
:
When power supplies are connected in series, and the load or one of the output terminals is grounded,
no point may be at a greater potential of +/- 650VDC from ground. When using RS232/485, LAN or
IEEE, refer to the OUTPUT TERMINALS GROUNDING warning, section 3.9.11.
WARNUNG
Bei Reihenschaltung mehrerer Geräte und Verbindung der Last bzw. eines Ausgangspoles mit System-
Masse, sollte kein Potential größer +/- 650VDC zwischen Ausgang und System-Masse anliegen. Bei
Verwendung der RS232/485, LAN oder der IEEE-Schnittstelle beachten Sie bitte die Warnhinweise
im Abschnitt 3.9.11.
5.4.1 Series Connection for Increased Output Voltage
Two units are connected so that their outputs are summed. Set the current limit of each power
supply to the maximum that the load can handle without damage. It is recommended that diodes
be connected in parallel with each unit output to prevent reverse voltage during start up sequence
or in case one of the units shuts down. Each diode should be rated to at least the power supply
rated output voltage and output current. Refer to Fig.5-1 and Fig.5-2 for series operation with
local and remote sensing.
