Parallel Connection of Slave
Units
Up to four 1000A PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply Slave units may be
connected in parallel with one 1000A Master. The derate for each additional
slave is 5% plus 5% for the master. Thus, the maximum possible output
rating without altitude or ambient derating is 4750 Amps (0.95 x 5 x 1000
amps) at 40 °C.
