3.7  Parallel connection of parallel unit(s), size K 
The output current can be increased by connecting up to 2 "parallel" units of identical rated current in parallel 
with the power section of a rectifier/regenerating unit of size K (basic unit). 
If less power is required in the regenerative feedback direction than in the infeed direction, on Software Version 
3.2 and higher of an IR unit it is possible to connect one or two infeed unit parallel unit(s) with the same rated 
current in parallel. (For permitted power section combinations, see Chapter 5, P076. See also Chapter 7, F061, 
interference value 7 and 8). 
The following table shows for each basic unit order number, the order number for the corresponding parallel unit 
that can be connected in parallel.

Table 3.11  Corresponding basic and parallel units 
The parallel units have the same technical data as the corresponding basic units. 
The parallel units do not include a CUR electronic module and are fitted with a C98043-A1695 (A23) Power 
Interface module instead of a C98043-A1685 (A23) Power Interface module. 
The parallel units do not
 require a separate external 24V power supply (via X9). The contactor for the parallel 
unit(s) is controlled via X9 of the basic device. Please observe contact ratings (if not sufficient, use an auxiliary 
relay). 
A 50-core ribbon cable is used to transfer firing pulse signals and monitoring signals. It also carries the power 
supply for the parallel units. 
Parallel connection to a basic unit: 
The female terminal strip X27 on module A23 of the basic unit is connected to the male terminal strip X28 on 
module A23 of the parallel unit via a 50-core ribbon cable. 
Parallel connection of a second parallel unit: 
The female terminal strip X27 on module A23 of the first parallel unit is connected to the male terminal strip X28 
on module A23 of the second parallel unit via a 50-core ribbon cable. 
The parallel unit(s) should be installed to the left of the basic unit (see Figure 3.36).
