Operating modes
15.1
Series operation
To double the output voltage, connect two power supplies in
series. Only use power supplies with the same performance
class and configuration for series operation. If two 24 V DC
power supplies are connected in series, an output voltage of
48 V DC is available to supply the loads.

Parallel operation
You can connect several power supplies in parallel in order
to increase the power or to supply the loads redundantly.

Observe the following points when carrying out parallel
connection:
1.
Use power supplies of the same type and performance
class
2.
Setting the same output voltages
3.
Using the same cable cross sections for wiring
4.
Using the same cable lengths for the DC convergence
point
5.
Operating power supplies in the same temperature
environment
6.
When three or more power supplies are connected in
parallel, each output must be protected (e.g., with
circuit breakers, fuses or decoupling modules)
We recommend the configuration "parallel
operation" for a parallel connection.
For more detailed information on the operating
mode for parallel operation, refer to the user
manual for the QUINT POWER software or the
QUINT POWER app.
