Series connection

Power supplies of the same type can be connected in series to increase the output voltages. As many devices can be connected in series as necessary, as long as the sum of the output voltages does not exceed 150Vdc. Voltages with a potential higher than 60Vdc are no longer regarded as safety extra-low voltage and can be dangerous. Such voltages must be protected with a touch guard.

Avoid application of return voltage (e.g. from a braking motor or battery) to the output terminals.

Restrictions: Keep a mounting distance of 15mm (left/right) between two power supplies and do not install the power supplies above each other. Power supplies connected in series should only be used in the standard installation position (terminals on the underside of the device).

Remember that leakage current, electromagnetic interference, inrush current and harmonics increase when using multiple power supplies.
