Parallel connection to increase power rating

To increase the power rating, SITOP modular power supplies of the same type can be
directly connected in parallel.
The following must be observed:
● The cables connected to each power supply at terminals "+" and "-" must have identical
● The power supplies connected in parallel must be switched on simultaneously with a
● The output voltages measured in no-load operation for the power supplies that are not yet
● Switch change-over switch "A" (see Figure 2-8 Voltage selector switch (example,

external connection point (terminal strip) if possible.
common switch in the line feeder cable (e.g. with the main switch available in control
cabinets).
connected in parallel should not deviate more than a maximum of 50 mV. This usually
corresponds to the factory setting. If the output voltage is changed, you should connect
the "-" terminals and then, in no-load operation, measure the voltage difference between
the "+" terminals that have not yet been connected. The voltage difference should not
exceed 50 mV.
