ProgressiveRC 8 PowerLab - Manual (Page 25)

Configuration H
Summary: two PowerLabs charging pack (10s or larger) with center tap, two power
sources, Normal mode
Components:
2 PowerLabs
2 ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED power sources: Lead Acid batteries or DC supplies
(see note below)
2 standard adapters or Safe Parallel Adapters (1 adapter per side)
1 10s (or larger) pack with center tap
User-provided jumper (see diagram)
2 optional FUIM3s for computer support with 2 CCS instances
PowerLab 8 mode (Normal or Expansion Channel): Normal only.
PowerLab 8 maximum charge power: up to 1344W to each pack (8s) using two
24VDC/1700W power source. Standard house circuit would likely not provide enough
power to both power supplies, so each power supply should be on a separate circuit.
IMPORTANT: DC power supplies often have a common ground through their
AC connections, and therefore are not isolated. With the power supplies
plugged into outlets and turned OFF, use a continuity tester or ohmmeter to
verify there is no continuity between DC ground outputs of the power supplies
before connecting the PowerLabs. Failure to ensure the power supplies are
electrically isolated will damage the PowerLabs as well as the pack.
