INTORDUCTION PH300S, 600S series are applicable to operate in parallel with an extemal circuit using CS signal terminal There are 2 different kinds of parallel operation, (1) Parallel Operation It Is possible to enhance the output when load ‘current can not be supplied by only one power ‘modulo oF to improve the reliability by derating ‘the output power of each module. (2). N+1 Parallel Redundant Operation For power supply that is required high reliability, it Is possible to achieve the requirement by using N+1 units of power modules for the load ‘of Nuits, In N+4 units of parallel operation, even through fone of the power modules is felled the performance of the system shall be maintained ‘because the other units cover the failure module ‘and share the load currents. 2. PRECUATIONS ‘There are several basic cautions and warnings in parallel operation of PH800S, 6008 series. + Externally attach a control circuit of parallel operation in each power module. + Available to use 11 units maximum of power ‘modules in identical model (same output power ‘and veltago.) + Use specified components follow by explanations of basic connection in Instruction Manual at input and output side. + Set the accuracy of the output voltage within 4% to adjust the output voltage, * Sot tho maximum load current below 95% of ‘sum of the nominal output current values. + Use same length and size of output load lines between power module and load in paralio! connection, 3.

() Control Circuit of Peraliel Operation ) Parallol Operation {n case that the output of PH modules are ‘connected in parallel without control circuit of parallel operation, current starts to flow from a power module with higher output voltage as Increasing the load current. This state may be ‘continued until the output voltage drops to be equal to the other modules by dynamic load or descending voltage in load wire or high output ‘module becomes over current protection condition and output voltage decreases. Do net operate in such conditions because the foad may be unbalanced and charges to only one power module. To attach control circuits of parallel operation, the load current in each power module can be ‘monitored, and the output voltage of modules with less load current may be increased, Then the load current may be balanced (2) Terminal Explanation of Figures-2 cs CS terminal of each module shall be connected.

Be aware of hoise affects for At (1/2) makes small voltage ‘amplify tens to hundreds times. ‘Also, load wire to united point of each load wire ‘rom output of the power supply shall be minimum length too.
