29) SERIES OP ER A TION
Se ries op er a tion is al lowed up to 600 V to tal volt age. The power sup plies can
be con nected in se ries with out spe cial pre cau tions.
For eas ier con trol, Mas ter / Slave op er a tion is rec om mended (see fig. 3- 19).
By us ing the Mas ter / Slave ser ies fea ture a dual track ing power sup ply can
be made with one unit as mas ter and one as slave.

For par al lel op er a tion in com bi na tion with Power Sink op tion, only one unit

Mixed par al lel - se ries op er a tion is also pos si ble, to a max i mum of 600 V.
The re sult ing com bi na tion of units be haves like one power sup ply and can be
man u ally con trolled or pro grammed on the mas ter. Fig. 3 - 21 shows a com -
puter con trolled M/S par al lel com bi na tion.
Con nect the dif fer ent units with stan dard RJ45 ca bles (see fig 3 - 22), us ing
CON B and CON C on the rear side. With DIP switch 4 of switch SW1 the Par -
