2.12 Parallel Operation
Up to four power supplies of the same model can be connected in parallel. The
paralleled supplies operate in a master/slave configuration, where the master controls
the output voltage and total current, and provides control signals to the slaves to set
their output current. The master and slave supplies will share the output current
equally. Either local or remote sensing can be used.
Figure 2-9 shows a parallel connection of two units with remote sensing.
CAUTION
The outputs of paralleled units must be wired in parallel at the rear
panel output terminals of the units. Use the shortest practical cable
length. Operation of a unit without a negative (return) connection
could result in damage.
