I1+I2 parallel
You can connect two Series 2230G output terminals in parallel and display the combined output
current value on channel 1.
The wiring between the power supply output terminals affects the accuracy of measurements in this
mode. Make sure that wire sizes are sufficient, wires are short, and connections are tightened to
ensure maximum accuracy. See
(on page 1-4) for wire size guidelines.
To combine channel 1 and channel 2 when the outputs are connected in parallel:
1. Connect the outputs in parallel, as shown in the following figure.
