Parallel Load Connections
Parallel load
modules When the power output of a DUT exceeds the
power rating of a channel or load module, the
channel terminals, load modules or mainframes
can be used in parallel to dissipate more power
when used in CC mode. Each channel will sink the
amount of current specified. The total power sunk
is the sum of all channels/modules. The amount of
power can vary from each channel. For example if
CH1 is 25A and CH2 is 20A, then the total current
sunk is 45A. Parallel loads are supported for both
static and dynamic loads (see page 78 for a
description on parallel dynamic loading).

Please note that when using different load
modules in parallel, the slew rates may differ. See
