External Parallel Connections.
To supply more current than any one
supply can provide individually, connect two or more power supplies
in parallel. Figure 10 illustrates two power supplies externally
connected in parallel. Note that the currents add together but the
voltages do not. For this example the power supplies are set to
independent and the SERIES and PARA indicators are not lighted.

CAUTION.
To avoid damaging the output circuitry of the power
supply, do not apply a voltage across an output that exceeds the
voltage rating of that output.

connections using the three outputs.
