When the power output of a DUT exceeds the
power rating of a channel or load module, the
channel terminals, load modules or mainframes
can be used in parallel to dissipate more power
when used in CC or CR mode. Each channel will
sink the amount of current specified. The total
power sunk is the sum of all channels/modules.
The amount of power can vary from each channel.
For example if CH1 is 25A and CH2 is 20A, then
the total current sunk is 45A. Parallel loads are
supported for both static and dynamic loads (see
page 82 for a description on parallel dynamic
loading). Note that the same modules must be
used when operating the parallel.
The PEL-2000A series also features a dedicated
parallel configuration setting known as Group
Unit. When Group Unit is turned on, load
modules of the same type and rating to be used in
parallel for CC and CR mode. See page 72 and 204
for more information.
