Chassis con gurations for Parallel Units
ACuQor units are available either open-frame or pre-mounted
at the factory. Up to 3 units can be mounted into a chassis, in
either side-by-side or stacked con gurations. For a complete list of
options, see the “Part Numbering System” table on the last page,
under “Package Type”, along with the Mechanical Drawings pages.
Only side-by-side con gurations can be populated with 500W units,
since each includes a thermal pad underneath.
Interconnection of Parallel Units
ACuQor units mounted in 2 and 3 unit chassis are not connected
together. This allows the physical routing and connectivity of the
external wiring to be customized to each application. The following
table summarizes the recommended wiring to operate multiple
units in parallel:
Speci cations of Parallel Units
As a rule, units wired in parallel behave the same as single units.
Any speci cation will remain unchanged that is expressed in units
of voltage, time, frequency, or ef ciency. Speci cations expressed
in terms of power, current, or capacitance, should be scaled by the
number of units wired in parallel.
ACuQor units are individually calibrated at the factory, so that the
output voltage vs. output current characteristic is always consistent
(see Vout droop characteristic gures). As such, multiple units will
share output current accurately. Full current is guaranteed from a
bank of multiple units wired in parallel.

parallel, only the output with the highest set-point will drive current.
