8.1
Series/Parallel Connections
Connecting two or more isolated channels in series provides a greater voltage
capability while connecting two or more isolated channels in parallel provides
a greater current capability. The series power supply supports both internal
and external series/parallel connections.
TIP · The three channels of the power supply are electrically isolated with
independent
outputs. For a single power supply, any two of the three channels can be
externally connected in series/parallel. · Isolated channels of different
power supplies can be externally connected in series/ parallel. · CH1 and CH2
can be internally connected in series/parallel. · When in internal series
mode, CH1 and CH2 cannot be externally connected in parallel; when in internal
parallel connection mode, CH1 and CH2 cannot be externally connected in
series. · The parameter settings for series and parallel connections must
comply with the safety requirements.
Series Connections
Connecting outputs in series provides a greater voltage capability than can be
obtained from a single output. The total voltage is the sum of the individual
voltages of all channels connected in series. To connect outputs in series,

output terminals. This mode makes the voltage at the load identical to your
voltage settings by monitoring the voltage at the load rather than at the
output terminal which automatically compensates for the voltage drop in the
load leads.
