6.3.4 Operational Limits in Conjunction with Mains Supply
A mains power supply voltage of 115 VAC or below limits the maximum
possible output power of the CMC 353.
In order to increase the output power when operated with a mains power
supply voltage of ≤ 115 VAC, you can supply the CMC 353 from two phases
(L-L) rather than from the normal one phase-neutral (L-N). This increases
the power supply by the factor √3 (115 VAC * √3 = 200 V).
To limit the internal losses and to maximize the output power of the voltage
amplifier, always set the maximum test object voltage to the minimum value
possible for the test.

6.3.5 Operational Limits with Current and Voltage Amplifier in
Parallel
A parallel operation of current and voltage amplifier lowers the maximum
output power of the CMC 353.
To limit the internal losses and to maximize the output power of the voltage
amplifier, set the maximum test object voltage to the minimum value
possible for the test. To minimize no-load losses, do not route unused
amplifiers in the Hardware Configuration.
