Current Sharing Connections - RP795xA, RP796xACurrent sharing between paralleled models RP795xA and RP796xArequires a separate sharing cable connecting the units. This cable provides the analogsignal that allows units of the same voltage rating to share current. The currentsharing function must be enabled by the user. For further information about currentsharing, refer to Enable Current Sharing.Connect the Sharing terminals for current sharing operation as shown in the following figure.Connection plugs are attached to each end of the sharing cable as shown. When connecting multiplecables, remove a connector plugs from one of the cables and attach the wire ends to the previouscable. Parallel pins 2 together and parallel pins 3 together. Pin 1 is not used.If the Sharing cable is disconnected, the paralleled units will still operate, but will notshare current or maintain constant voltage mode operation. When the output isdisabled, the sharing relay opens and disconnects the unit from the Sharing bus.Sharing Cable and Cover InstallationSHOCK HAZARD Install the safety cover over the current sharing connectors whenfloating the output terminals. The sharing terminals will be at the float potential, whichcannot exceed the isolation ratings given in the characteristics tables.Because of the danger of electric shock when touching the sharing connection plugs, you must installthe safety cover along with the cable. To install the cable through the cover, you must disconnect oneof the connectors to fit the wires through the safety cover.A ferrite core is also provided to comply with the EMC IEC61326-1 standard. The ferrite core does notaffect the functionality of this product.The following figures detail the sharing cable incorporated with the safety cover and the ferrite core.Keysight RP7900 Series Operating and Service Guide 812 Installing the Instrument
