20.6. Series Operation

Power supplies of the exact same type can be connected in series for higher
output voltages. It is possible to connect as many units in series as needed,
providing the sum of the output voltage does not exceed 150Vdc. Voltages
with a potential above 60Vdc are no longer SELV and may be dangerous.
Such voltages must be installed with a protection against touching. Grounding of
the output is required when the sum of the output voltage exceeds 60Vdc.
Avoid return voltage (e.g. from a decelerating motor or battery) which is
applied to the output terminals. Maintain an installation clearance of 15mm
(left / right) between two power supplies and avoid installing the power supplies on
top of each other. Do not use power supplies in series in mounting orientations
other than the standard mounting orientation (input terminals on the bottom and output terminals on
top of the unit). Please note that leakage current, EMI, inrush current, and harmonics will increase when using multiple
power supplies.

20.7. Inductive and Capacitive Loads

The unit is designed to supply unlimited inductive loads.

The max. capacitive load depend on the steady state output current. At 1.3A output current, the output capacity
should not be larger than 1 000μF and at 0.65A output current not larger than 2 500μF. In case of larger capacitors,
the unit can show start-up attempts or start-up problems.
