How to Use Power Supply FAQ

When connecting power supplies in parallel, it is advisable to insert a protective diode in series with the output of each unit. This prevents reverse current from flowing from one power supply into another.
Additionally, it is recommended that each power supply be wired individually to a single common point at the load (a "star connection"). This practice ensures balanced current sharing and minimizes voltage drops in the wiring. The optimal connection method can vary depending on the specific characteristics of your load. Therefore, for detailed advice tailored to your application, please contact your nearest sales office.
