E. Set the SLAVE VOLTAGE and CURRENT control to maximum output.
F.
When connected in series, from the master VOLTAGE controls of each power supply exercise control over
0
to rating
range. Add the two voltmeter readings together to determine the total output voltage, or an external voltmeter may
1"
be connect across the load.
G.
Load current may be monitored from either supply; the reading
will
be identical since they are connected in series.
Also, since the supplies are connected in series,
it
is only necessary to set the current limit of the master power supply;
the slave would set for maximum.
(3) Parallel Operation
Two power supplies may be connected in parallel to provide rating voltage and higher current output. See Fig. 5
-
3 for the
connection scheme.

H.
Set the MASTER output voltage lower than 0.2-0.5V of SLAVE output voltage, this point is very important.
