ReFlex Power™ AC Power Supplies OLTAGE For applications where regulation is important, the contribution of the load wiring to voltage drop from the output terminals of the AC module to the load must be considered. The wire gauge must be selected to maintain an acceptable total voltage drop for the load wiring under the maximum current.
AC Power Supplies ReFlex Power™ Twisting the load wires provides an additional benefit in reducing the parasitic inductance of the cable. This improves the dynamic response characteristics at the load by maintaining a low source impedance at high frequencies. Also, with long load wires, the resultant inductance and resistance could produce high frequency voltage fluctuations at the load because of current variations in the load itself.

AC Power Supplies ReFlex Power™ 4.5.2 ODES OF PERATION The AC power supply module is capable of operating in either standalone or in groupings of parallel, and multi-phase output configurations. This allows extending the power, voltage, and current ratings while minimizing the number of unique modules comprising a system.
ReFlex Power™ AC Power Supplies through software. In a multi-phase group the load could be connected in wye or delta configuration, but the module outputs must be wye connected. CAUTION Do not connect the AC modules in a delta configuration. Modules must be set to the same output range when multi-phase connected.
AC Power Supplies ReFlex Power™ ONSTANT OLTAGE The AC power supply will operate in constant–voltage regulation whenever the load current is less than the programmed current setting. In this mode, the power supply maintains the output voltage precisely regulated to the programmed voltage setting while the load current varies with the load requirements.
ReFlex Power™ AC Power Supplies TANDALONE ONFIGURATION Single loads are connected directly to the front panel output terminals, and the AC power supply module is configured to operate in the standalone mode. Twist the load wires or maintain them closely in parallel for their entire length to minimize parasitic inductance and coupling from external circuits.

AC Power Supplies ReFlex Power™ The paralleled modules are programmed as a single, virtual channel with a current rating equal to the sum of the number of modules connected in parallel. The master and slave supplies will share the output current equally. Fault shutdown is coordinated across all modules: a fault within any module of the group will result in shutdown of all modules.

However, when first unpacked, the modules should be inspected to ensure that no shipping damage has occurred.
ReFlex Power™ DC Power Supplies LEANING Because the module uses forced convection cooling, the air flow through the unit can pull in dust. In environments having high concentrations of dust, periodic cleaning may be required. The exterior of the unit should be cleaned with a mild solution of detergent and water.

Page 248
ReFlex Power™ DC Power Supplies OLTAGE For applications where regulation is important, the contribution of the load wiring to voltage drop from the output terminals of the DC modules to the load must be considered. The wire gauge must be selected to maintain an acceptable total voltage drop for the load wiring under the maximum peak current.
DC Power Supplies ReFlex Power™ Twisting the load wires provides an additional benefit in reducing the parasitic inductance of the cable. This improves the dynamic response characteristics at the load by maintaining a low source impedance at high frequencies. Also, with long load wires, the resultant inductance and resistance could produce high frequency voltage fluctuations at the load because of current variations in the load itself.
