Series or Parallel Connection with Other Outputs
The outputs of the power supply are fully floating and may be used in series with other power
supply units to generate high DC voltages up to 300V DC.
The maximum permissible voltage between any terminal and earth ground (
WARNING! Such voltages are exceedingly hazardous and great care should be taken to shield
the output terminals for such use. On no account should the output terminals be touched when
the unit is switched on under such use. All connections to the terminals must be made with the
power switched off on all units.
It should be noted that the unit can only source current and cannot sink it, thus units cannot be
series connected in anti-phase.
The unit can be connected in parallel with others to produce higher currents. Where several units
are connected in parallel, the output voltage will be equal to that of the unit with the highest
output voltage setting until the current drawn exceeds its current limit setting, upon which the
output will fall to that of the next highest setting, and so on. In constant current mode, units can
be connected in parallel to provide a current equal to the sum of the current limit settings.
Note that the output terminals are rated at 15A maximum; if several outputs are operated in
parallel to source higher currents than this the junction should be made at a separate point, not
one of the terminals.
Over-temperature Protection
Sensors on both the primary and secondary heatsinks will detect over-temperature due to
blocked air flow, fan failure or other circuit fault. Over-temperature will shut down the output (the
display will read 0 Volts and 0 Amps if the output is ON) though the output ON lamp will remain
lit. The output will remain shut down even after the heatsinks have cooled down. When the cause
of the over-temperature has been removed and the heatsinks have cooled to normal working
temperatures the output can be reset by turning the POWER switch off (
