To increase output power, outputs of multiple SM15K units can be connected in parallel or in series. Together with the plug-and-play M/S interface of the SM15K, multiple units will operate as one big system. In such a system, the SM15K units serve as a modular building block.
In order to quickly and safely assemble and reconfigure a system of multiple SM15K units, special output assembly kits are offered. Different output kits are offered per SM15K unit type, as their current and voltage ranges differ.
At this moment, the SM15K units allow the operation of up to 60 units in parallel and also several in series. We offer kits for a fixed number of units in parallel or in series. These kits can be combined by stacking them, in order to connect more units than offered by individual kits. For example, to connect 20 units in parallel, a combination of two assembly kits of ten units and a connecting set for two units can be used.
Furthermore, many of our distributors offer custom cabinet systems, built to your individual needs.
