5.10 Series Connection
If
output voltage
from a
single KONSTANTER
is insufficient, or if you
want to generate a
voltage
, the outputs of several
KONSTANTERs
can be connected in series
.
Warning!
Maximum allowable cumulative voltage for series
connection is 120 V (or 240 V with grounded neutral
point).
5.10.1 Direct Series Connection
Attention!
!
If outputs with differing nominal values are series
connected, the highest selected current value is present
at all outputs in the event of short-circuit. However, the
internal reverse-voltage protection diode is only rated for
nominal current of the respective device (see reverse
voltage withstand under Technical Data). For this reason,
all current setpoints must be set to the lowest nominal
current value of all interconnected devices.
The
ILIM
parameter is used to select this setting.
You can also connect a diode (D
e
, Figure 5.10.1 a)
in
reverse direction between the terminals of the outputs
with low nominal values. The diode must be capable of
conducting nominal current from the output with the
highest current value.

Settings
Deactivate
all outputs.
Adjust
current setpoint ISET
of all series connected
KONSTANTERs
to approximately the same value
:
Iset
= ISET1 = ISET2 = ISET3 = ISETn
Adjust voltage setpoints USET
such that they add up to the
desired
cumulative voltage value Uset
:
Uset
= USET1 + USET2 + USET3 + ... + USETn
Activate
the outputs.
Functional Principle
The
sum of all individual output voltages
is made available to the
power consumer.
If load resistance is continuously reduced, all of the outputs
deliver the
same load current at first
.
When load current reaches the lowest
selected current setpoint
value
,
current regulating
is triggered at the respective output.
If load resistance is further reduced, this output maintains
constant load current
until its
output voltage has dropped to 0 V
.
If even
further reduction
of load current occurs, the affected
output is forced by the other outputs to generate a
negative
voltage
.
As of approximately
0.5 V
, the internal
reverse-voltage protection
diode
becomes conductive.
Load current
can once again
climb
, until
current regulation
is
activated at the output with the
next highest current setpoint
value
.
This procedure is continued until load current triggers current
regulating at the
output
with the
highest current setpoint value
.
Current is held constant by this last output
until short-circuiting
occurs.

Note
The
outputs
can be activated and deactivated
commonly
by
connecting the
SIG1
outputs to the
TRG
inputs (see also chapter
5.10.2).
