  • Page 34: Output Terminals On The Front Panel

    Output terminals on the front panel The output terminals on the front panel are auxiliary output terminals. These terminals, however, may not satisfy the given specifications of the unit. The PAN16-50A has no output terminals on the front panel. Load Note that the output may become unstable when one of the following loads is connected.
  • Page 35: When A Load Generates A Reverse Current To The Power Supply

    2.4.2 When a load generates a reverse current to the power supply The unit cannot absorb a reverse current from a regenerative load such as an inverter, converter or transformer that supplies current to a power supply. Consequently, the output voltage will increase and the output will fluctuate.

    Connection and setup procedure 1. Turn off the OUTPUT switch of each unit. 2. Turn off the POWER switch of each unit. 3. Determine the master unit. NOTE • If the PAN-A and PAN series are used together, assign the PAN-A series power supply as the master unit.
  • Page 88 • Use a load cable of sufficient current capacity to WARNING cover the rated value. • After parallel connection, mount the output terminal cover (on the front or rear panel). To mount the front auxiliary output terminal cover, see "3.4 Mounting the auxiliary output terminal cover".
  • Page 89 7. Connect an electrolytic capacitor (C) with a capacity of a few hundreds of μF to a few tens of thousands of μF to the load terminals as necessary. • Use a capacitor (C) whose withstand voltage is 120 CAUTION % or more of the unit's rated voltage.

    Master-slave-control series operation It is possible to increase the output voltage by connecting several slave units in series to one master unit. In a master-slave-control series operation system, a preset output for all the units connected in series can be designated only from the master unit. •...
  • Page 96 • Be sure to observe the limitation on the maximum WARNING number of units that can be connected in series. If the maximum output voltage exceeds the isolation voltage, it may create a danger of electric shock. • Series connection is possible only for the PAN-A or CAUTION PAN series power supplies that have the same rated output voltage and rated output current.
  • Page 97 ■ Presetting of OVP trip points in series operation When carrying out series operation, OVP (overvoltage protection) trip points should be preset for both the master unit and for all slave units. In series operation, the OVP trip points for slave units should be set to slightly higher values than that used for the master unit.
