Sorensen SG Series Specifications
Common
Remote Sense Terminals are provided to sense output voltage at point of load. Maximum line drop 5% of rated voltage per line for 40-100V models, line drop 1V of rated voltage per line for 10-20V models, 1.5V for 30V models, 2% of rated voltage per line for models 160V and greater. (Greater line drop is allowed, but output regulation specifications no longer apply).
Parallel Operation Up to 5 units may be paralleled for additional current within the power supply single-unit specifications, with exception of the DC output current set accuracy. Additional paralleled SG units will add 0.3% inaccuracy per unit. To parallel more than 5 units, contact factory.
Series Operation Up to 2 units (see Output Float Voltage)
