Capacitance Limits
The following table describes the maximum load capacitance that can be tolerated in a series
configuration. If you suspect that your load capacitance exceeds these values, you must install the
series diode as previously described.

Additional Cautions When Using a Boost Supply in Series
The following cautions only apply to 40V, 60V, 80V, 120V and 160V N6900 models without relay
disconnect option 760 or 761.
To Prevent Possible Equipment Damage:
l Do not power up the boost supply until after the APS is turned on and initialized.
l Turn off the boost supply first; then turn off the APS unit.
The following figure illustrates how a boost supply is typically connected.
