Elgar CW-M Series
3.8 Parallel Connected Units
To achieve higher output power than what is available from one unit, you can connect
up to six units in parallel. This is referred to as ‘master/slave’ operation.
For a master/slave configuration, designate one unit as the master and the others as
slaves. This is done by both switch settings (see Section 4) and wiring connections.
Connect the master as described in the preceding steps. Additionally, using the same
size and type of wire, make these connections between the master and slaves:
Connect
from Master Unit: To Slave Units:
INPUT LINE INPUT LINE
INPUT GND INPUT GND
INPUT NEUT INPUT NEUT
OUTPUT LINE OUTPUT LINE
OUTPUT NEUT OUTPUT NEUT
Connect the master unit’s sense leads either locally or to the load. Do not make any
connection to the slave unit’s SENSE terminals. In addition to the connections just
defined, connect a cable (Elgar part number 890-497-40) from the master’s rear panel
connector labeled SLAVE OUT to the slave rear panel connectors labeled SLAVE IN.
3.9 Multiphase Connected Units
Two phase, three phase and six phases can be configured by setting the rear panel
switches and attaching cables to connect the units (Elgar part number 890-497-40).
See Section 4 for parallel and multiphase configurations and switch settings.
