Operation

Use series operation to obtain a single higher voltage output using two or more
supplies. Connect the negative (–) output terminal of one supply to the positive (+)
output terminal of the next supply. See

Figure 3.2

. The total voltage available is the

sum of the maximum voltages of each supply (add voltmeter readings) to a
maximum of 600 V. The maximum allowable current for a series string of power
supplies is the output current of a single supply in the string.
