CHAPTER 6 PARALLEL AND SERIES OPERATION

6.1 Parallel operation

Up to 8 FPS1000 units of the same output voltage rating can be connected in parallel. By connecting the CS signal between the paralleled units, automatic current balance is achieved, with +/-10% accuracy. Derate the total output current by 10% when using parallel operation to prevent overload condition.

The built-in Oring diodes on the main output and the 12V Auxiliary output allow N+1 operation. For input voltages less than 100Vac, maximum output Power derated by 10% of the Power rating.

6.1.1 Parallel operation with Remote sensing

Fig 6-1 shows typical connection of parallel operation with Remote sensing. The CS signal wires should be as short as possible and with the same length.

6.1.2 Output voltage trimming at parallel operation

The output voltage of the units connected in parallel can be made by a single trimmer or resistive divider as shown in Fig 6-2.
