N+1 Redundancy

N+1 Redundancy 1:

Notes on parallel use for N + 1 redundancy

  • Note that leakage current, EMI, inrush current and harmonics increase when using multiple devices.
  • For N + 1 redundancy the ambient temperature is not allowed to exceed +60°C.

Redundant systems for a higher power demand are usually built in a N + 1 method. E.g. four devices, each rated for 10 A, are paralleled to build a 30 A redundant system.
