Configuring
Multiple
Supplies for
Series
Operation
Use series operation to obtain a single higher voltage output using two or more
supplies. Connect the negative (–) output terminal of one supply to the positive (+)
output terminal of the next supply. See Figure 3.2. The total voltage available is the
sum of the maximum voltages of each supply (add voltmeter readings) to a
maximum of 600 V. The maximum allowable current for a series string of power
supplies is the output current of a single supply in the string.
Figure 3.2 Series Operation of Multiple Supplies
CAUTION
Do not use remote sensing during series operation.
CAUTION
The maximum allowable sum of the output voltages is 600 Vdc.
