20.8. Series Operation

Power supplies of the exact same type can be connected in series for higher
output voltages. It is possible to connect as many units in series as needed,
providing the sum of the output voltage does not exceed 150Vdc. Voltages
with a potential above 60Vdc are no longer SELV and can be dangerous.
Such voltages must be installed with protection against touching. Grounding
of the output is required when the sum of the output voltage is above 60Vdc.
Avoid return voltage (e.g. from a decelerating motor or battery) which is
applied to the output terminals. Keep an installation clearance of 15mm
(left / right) between two power supplies and avoid installing the power supplies
on top of each other. Do not use power supplies in series in mounting
orientations other than the standard mounting orientation (input terminals on the bottom and output terminals on
top of the unit). Be aware that leakage current, EMI, inrush current and harmonics will increase when using multiple
power supplies in series.

The power supply can also be used on two phases of a three-phase system.

. Use a fuse or a circuit breaker to protect the N input. The

N input is not internally protected and is in this case connected to a hot
wire. Appropriate fuses or circuit breakers are specified in section 20.4,
“External Input Protection”.

20.10. Use without PE on the Input

From a safety standpoint, the unit is internally designed according to the requirements for Protection Class 1 and 2.
Please contact RA if you do not use the PE terminal. A different marking of the front foil is then required.

Grounding of the input is beneficial for a high EMI immunity: Symmetrical spikes or fast transients on the input side
can be conducted directly to earth by the built-in filter capacitors. The magnitude of such spikes or fast transients on
the output side caused by the input is much smaller compared to not connecting this terminal to ground.
