www.allice.de Allice Messtechnik GmbH ® Applications R&S NGE100B Parallel and Serial Mode 7 Applications 7.1 Parallel and Serial Mode It is assumed that only qualified and trained personnel service the power supplies and the connected loads. Use only the R&S NGE100B power supply series when operating the channels in a serial or parallel mode to increase the output voltage and current. -
Page 101: Parallel Mode
www.allice.de Allice Messtechnik GmbH ® Applications R&S NGE100B Parallel and Serial Mode Figure 7-1: Example of serial connection 7.1.2 Parallel Mode If it is necessary to increase the total current, the power supply outputs must be wired in parallel. The maximum total current is the sum of the individual currents of all sour- ces connected in parallel. - Page 102 www.allice.de Allice Messtechnik GmbH ® Applications R&S NGE100B Parallel and Serial Mode Principles of operation in parallel mode Generally, a higher current will first be supplied from the channel with the higher output voltage. Once this channel reaches its power limit, the remaining current will be made available by the channel that is connected in parallel.
