4.1.1 Choosing a Load Configuration
Some loads and test plans may require a particular configuration of the MT-30
load connections. For example, if the test requires current value over 330
Amperes in either direction,
Parallel
configuration must be used.
The Table and Figure 4.1 show the operating limits for the two configurations,
Independent and Parallel. It may be helpful to plot on the graph of Figure 4.1
points that represent the expected load conditions at different times during the
test and then select a configuration that includes all of these points within the
operating limits. Each of the configurations is described in more detail below.
