2. Remote sensing at the load should not be used during series operation. Each
power supply should have its remote sense leads connected to its own output
terminals.
3. An anti-parallel diode (power diode capable of the maximum current of the series
group, connected across the output, but reverse biased) is recommended to
protect against sinking current into a supply should one supply be ON while
another other is OFF, as shown in Figure 3-112.
4. Diode D2 shown in the figure is optional, if the load has stored energy such as a
battery. Refer to Section 2.12.
