Combining
Channels
You can combine channels in series to obtain higher output voltages or in
parallel to obtain higher output currents.
Channels in Series
•
All channels connected in series MUST be configured as isolated
channels (with isolated plug-on modules installed).
•
Up to 3 channels may be combined, but the output voltage MUST
NOT exceed 42 Vdc/42 Vpeak.
Channels in Parallel
•
Channels may be either Isolated or Non-Isolated.
•
Up to 16 channels may be combined.
Figure 1-15 shows how to combine voltage channels (in series) and current
channels (in parallel).
CAUTIONS All SERIES CONNECTED output channels MUST be configured as
ISOLATED OUTPUTS.
When combining output voltage channels, be sure not to exceed the
maximum module isolation rating of 42 Vdc or 42 Vpeak.
