21.4. External Input Protection

The unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 50A. An external protection is only required, if the supplying
branch has an ampacity greater than this. Check also local codes and local requirements. In some countries local
regulations might apply.

If an external fuse is necessary or utilized, minimum requirements need to be considered to avoid nuisance tripping of
the circuit breaker. A minimum value of 10A B- or 8A C-Characteristic breaker should be used.

21.5. Requirements for the Supplying Source

In certain circumstances, the input filter of the DC/DC converter can show a resonant effect which is caused by the
supplying network. Especially when additional external input filters are utilized, a superimposed AC voltage can be
generated on the input terminals of the DC/DC converter which might cause a malfunction of the unit. Therefore,
additional input filters are not recommended. To avoid the resonant effects, the minimal resistance of the supplying
network which depends on the inductance of the input network, shall be above the boundary curve in Fig. 21-3.

21.6. Parallel Use to Increase Output Power

This DC/DC-converter is designed to meet the NEC Class 2 requirements. Do not use in parallel to increase the output
current. This would increase the output current and violate the NEC Class 2 limitations.

21.7. Parallel Use for Redundancy

This DC/DC-converter is designed to meet the NEC Class 2 requirements. Do not use in parallel for redundancy.
This would increase the output current and violate the NEC Class 2 limitations.
