E Inrush Current Limitation
The converters may be supplemented by an electronic cir-
cuit (option E, replacing the standard built-in NTC) to
achieve an enhanced inrush current limiting function.

Precaution:
Subsequent switch-on cycles at start-up are limited to
max. 10 cycles during the first 20 seconds (cold unit)
and at continuing on/off (TC = 95°C) max. 1 cycle every
8 sec.
T Current Sharing
This option ensures that the output currents are approxi-
mately shared between all paralleled modules and in-
creases system reliability. To use this facility, simply inter-
connect the T pins of all modules and make sure, that
pin 14, the S– pin (S 4000) or the Vo1– pins (S 5000) are
also connected together. The load leads should have equal
length and cross section to ensure equal voltage drops. Not
more than 5 units should be connected in parallel. If output
voltage adjustment is requested we strongly recommend to
use the R-input instead of option P, as with option P the re-
quired setting accuracy is difficult to achieve. The output
voltages must be individually set prior to paralleling to
within a tolerance of 1...2% or the R pins should be con-
nected together.
