Parallel use to increase power

PS2001-4810-0000 power supplies can be connected in parallel to increase the output power. The output voltage of all power supplies must be set to the same value (±100mV) in "Single Use" mode and with the same load conditions on all devices, or the factory settings of the devices can be retained. After making adjustments, set the unit to "Parallel Use" mode to achieve load sharing. "Parallel Use" mode regulates the output voltage so that the voltage at no load is approx. 4% higher than at nominal load. See also Output chapter

The ambient temperature may not exceed +60°C.

If more than three devices are connected in parallel, a fuse or circuit breaker with a rated current of 15A or 16A is required at each output. Alternatively a diode can be used.

Energize all devices simultaneously. It may also be necessary to ramp up and shut down the input power (turn off for at least five seconds) if the output was overloaded or short-circuited and the required output current is higher than the current of a device.

Restrictions: Keep a mounting distance of 15mm (left/right) between two power supplies and do not install the power supplies above each other. In parallel mode power supplies should only be used in the standard installation position (terminals on the underside of the device), not in other installation positions or under other conditions that require a reduction in the output current (e.g. installation altitude ...).

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